What is a Dll files
A DLL (Dynamic Link Library) is a small application (or sometimes a group of them), which is called by greater demand for providing a service or a set of instructions. DLL may reside in the Windows operating system itself or within Windows applications. The DLL is designed to save space by placing routines commonly used in a DLL file, rather than to place copies of all routines in each program. If your Windows applications and / or programs are missing DLL files correctly, you have probably been faced with either a reinstallation of your software or an application for non-work.
DLL errors can occur for many reasons. The most common is that, while removing a program unused your Windows system, you can delete a "sharing" DLL file used by another program installed on your system. Once this program is called by Windows, it remains blocked when he could not find the DLL file necessary to use the program, resulting in an error message. Other reasons could be:
Updates programs faulty
Incomplete uninstallations
Infructueuse reinstallations
Accidental Deletion
Accidentally moved and Windows can not find the file
Focus has become corrupted for no apparent reason
Focus is not up to date

By using WinZip or similar, most users will simply have to decompress the file DLLs are in their Windows System folder to restore the functions of the program. For most machines, the location of the system directory is:
Windows 95/98/ME: C:WindowsSystem
Windows NT/2000: C:WINNTSystem32
Windows XP C:WindowsSystem32
