Hello, everybody !

... have you ever had a "cant find xyz123.dll " popup when you were doing something important on your pc's ? . . .

I found this link in my pc mag and I thought I should share it with you -
.... it could be very useful to you . Here it is :

http://www.dll-downloads.com/

. . . have fun ! .

Ps. . edit by me : It would be interesting to find out if this link was useful for you !

This is an awkward name for a *.dll, guess it's faulty spyware, malware or something.

I think it was meant as a generic .dll name.

Thx, its always nice to have more than one site to visit for those elusive missing dlls

Heres one Ive used many times..

http://www.dll-files.com/

Or the XP CD.

@ Indian_mayhem :

..... so I can get all the .dll's I'll ever need off the XP CD ? . . . where would I find them ?

Well, the DLLs that are part of the OS...yes those can come from the CD. DLLs that are part of programs you've installed, that would be somewhere else. Like any DLL that comes with DS.

But my concern would be also figuring out why your DLL is missing in the first place. Windows DLLs can be unloaded by security flaws but not something you can do as a general user. In fact, to replace mission critical DLLs....you have to be in safe mode with networking support (so you can get out to the net). Sometimes a piece of spyware simply renamed it and replaced it with it's own version.

Granted it's a great idea of having DLLs in a central repository that you can download, you have to keep aware that the version that is listed there...may not be the version you may use. And getting a newer version of that DLL without the supporting files that support it could make things worse.

You can find the compressed files on the I316 folder (if I'm remembering right). Or do a search on the CD for the name of the DLL only (not the extension because they are renamed when compressed).

Of course, I'm a cup half empty person so I often think worst case scenarios.

Here is another one!

The Dynamic Link Library

They also have:

The Ocx Files
