About the DLL file type:
If Windows cannot find the appropriate program associated with .DLL files, then your registry may have errors. Check your Windows registry for errors (includes file association errors).DLL files are files shared between a number of software programs (and are similar to .EXE files), used in Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems. These files will contain compiled procedures, or drivers (for example for a printer) which a range of programs can then all access. You will often come across DLL files in the context of not having them, which is to say if you plug a new piece of hardware into your PC the computer might complain about missing the 123XYZ.DLL file. In practice this means that the system cant find the driver associated with this hardware. You will usually be able to download legitimate DLL files from a CD accompanying the hardware, or off the Internet from the hardware producers website.
