The first step to fix DLL errors is to recognize the source of the error message. SA we know that DLL’s are non-executable and it require other programs to operate then the error begins with a separate software entity. You have to examine the original error message and notice the DLL error in the file, its path name and the program that threw the error.

Troubleshooting Software

DLL’s are called upon by programs and services for different reasons. If the program that calls the DLL exists there then it might cause a false DLL error. Re-install the software referenced in the error message to troubleshoot this possibility.

Update Drivers
