Here’s a question for you, Mr. or Ms. Accomplished Computer User. You can work all sorts of magic and know all sorts of tricks. You help out friends and relatives, install and reinstall and back up and work wonders. You’re good. So this should be easy, Tell us what DLL files are for.
It’s OK. Take your time. A little time. Still working on it?
Don’t feel bad. Even though DLL files are crucial to our computer use (virtually all of our programs use them and won’t work if they’re missing), most of us are unaware of them. And for good reason: DLL files run in the background usually, unseen and not causing any problems.
Until they do. Until they go AWOL or get corrupted. This can happen for a variety of reasons. Maybe you’ve deleted a program, running the uninstall software correctly, and it deleted a DLL file that was common to more than one application.
It’s also possible that you installed an update and it wrote over the old DLL files, somehow corrupting them.
Worst of all, it’s possible that some sort of malware has attacked your PC and deleted DLL files, making it easier to do its nasty work.
At any rate, a good DLL search program can be a handy piece of software to keep around. To keep tabs on your DLL files, and to know when something goes wrong.
