What are DLL Files?


DLL or dynamic linked library files are basically a collection of small programs that can be called upon when needed by the executable or .exe program that is running. The DLL file allows the .exe program to communicate with a particular device, such as a printer or other hardware, or the DLL file may contain a source code for a specific function. DLL files are actually a very important part of your system. They are used in everything from e-mail to gaming. The advantage of a DLL file is that they do not get loaded into your RAM (Random Access Memory), therefore RAM space is saved. If you are a casual user of PC you probably will not ever hear about DLL files unless you have an error of some sort with one of the files. A common error with DLL files relates to a missing file. In this instance it can be a challenge to locate the correct DLL file you need in order to relieve yourself of this error message. However, it may not be a good idea to try to get the DLL file as soon as you start receiving the message. The file could be corrupt or dangerous. This is why a DLL Lab such as the one Paretologic offers can be a great resource. You can determine what DLL’s are on your system, how they function, and whether they should be kept or removed.
