DLL Troubleshooting for a Problem-free System

In order to save time when writing applications, software developers use code libraries that store common functions and routines, meaning that each developer doesnt have to re-invent the wheel each time they write a program. This has many benefits, such as a common look and feel for Windows, since each application uses the same library code to draw a window or display a menu. However, problems with these shared pieces of code, called Dynamic Link Libraries or DLLs in Windows, can lead to all kinds of mysterious errors. A DLL problem will affect every application that depends on that DLL, meaning that errors soon get out of hand. While certain system protection features mean that Windows 7, Vista and XP dont suffer from the same scale of problems that Windows Me and 98 did, DLL problems can still cause havoc. Fortunately, well show you how to deal with the most serious DLL errors in this article.
