Guidelines To Follow When Dealing With DLL Errors

It is unfortunate that when you buy a new computer, you do not receive any manual or handbook to help you identify common computer errors that you may encounter and recommendations on how to prevent as well as solve them. Such guidelines would surely make a computer user more confident about confronting computer problems. However, nobody warns you how to interpret the strange error messages that you will receive when something goes wrong or how to go about solving it. Most users probably give up the moment they see a long error message which sounds like alien language, such as the message below:

"The ordinal 422 could not be located in the dynamic link library PX.dll"





This incidentally is a simple problem related to Winamp installation and is quite easy to solve. However, there is no indication of it in the error message. Nor does it tell you what exactly has gone wrong. Unfortunately, a lot of errors that you will encounter may be related to DLL (Dynamic Link Library) files. Here are some simple guidelines that you may follow to not only perform DLL error fixes, but also to prevent them.

Guideline 1: Search the Internet for a Solution: The first thing that you must do as soon as an error occurs is to note down the error message displayed and check for a solution on the Internet. If your computer is unable to start, you may have to do this research on some other functional computer connected to the Internet. Most of the time, you may be able to find a solution to your DLL error message on the Microsoft Knowledgebase or some other help Web site on the Internet. You can implement this solution to resolve your error. 

Guideline 2: Replace the Missing File: There are many ways that you can replace a missing DLL file:

• Update the DLL file after installing which the DLL file error started occurring.
• Find the missing DLL file on a reliable Internet source or a friend’s computer with a configuration the same as yours and copy it to the file location on your computer.
• Reinstall the application which after uninstalling the DLL errors started occurring.
• Replace system files, such as framedyn.dll from the Windows setup disk or C:\system32\dllcache folder.
• Perform System Restore to rollback system settings to the time when the PC was free from DLL errors.

Guideline 3: Check Your PC for Malware Infections: Infections from viruses, Trojans, rootkits, and spyware are major causes of several DLL errors. To fight these, it is essential that you take appropriate measures to prevent these infections. Some essential security tools that you need for this task are antivirus, antispyware and firewall.

Guideline 4: Scan, Clean and Fix the Windows Registry: Incorrect DLL entries in the registry are also known to cause several DLL errors. To fix these issues, you need to scan your registry for invalid DLL entries and fix them. One efficient and automatic way to scan incorrect DLL entries in the registry is to use a reliable registry tool. This tool will detect all DLL-related errors and display them on the screen. You may choose to fix either all the errors or only a few selected errors.
