How to Retrieve a Lost .dll File
1.
Run the program that uses the missing .dll file. The error message will list the name of the missing file. Note the name of the file.
2.
Visit DLL_Download.net. DLL-Download.net is a website that archives popular and generic .dll files.
3.
Type the name of the .dll file into the field next to '.DLL,' then click 'Find DLL.'
4.
If the missing .dll file is listed, download the file. If you do not find the correct .dll file, then try DLL-Files.com. The .dll file will be in a .zip archive file, and should not take long to download.
5.
Move the new .dll file into the directory of the missing .dll file. If necessary, use WinZip to extract the .dll file. WinZip is a file compression tool that reduces file size, and is particularly useful in compressing numerous files into one archive.
If you do not remember or know where the .dll file is supposed to go, search the folders for the program the .dll file belongs to and look other .dll files. When programs are installed, their .dll files are typically gathered in one folder. Find the folder with other .dll files and replace the missing .dll file.
