One runtime error that has plagued users of Windows XP for many years is the DLL runtime error. These have actually been around since the very first Windows operating system. As with all runtime errors, the occurrence of the DLL runtime error is a nuisance and interferes with productivity. Solving it, however, is usually a matter of doing some troubleshooting and finding the root cause of the problem. What Does DLL Mean? DLL stands for Dynamic Link Library and is a file type that makes up many integral parts of almost all Windows applications. DLL errors usually cause programs to behave erratically or to fail to even load properly. If you receive a DLL Runtime Error message, you should write down the exact wording of the error message as it will reference the source of the problem for you. You can search online for information pertaining to the specific error that caused the message. The odds are excellent that someone else has encountered this problem before. If not, they certainly will later, so talking about it on forums is a good source of information. Different DLL Runtime Error and their Solutions The easiest and most common solution to a DLL runtime error is to uninstall the software causing the problem and reinstall it. This will normally take care of it completely. There are, however, times when this does not work. In some cases, a new installation can overwrite DLL files used by another application. Badly written Windows installer programs have been responsible for this sort of error many times. In some cases, there is a patch available, either from Microsoft Update, or from the software developer that is designed to eliminate the problem and prevent these overwrites. Another common cause of DLL runtime errors is the presence of spyware on the computer. Spyware can extract information about your computing habits and send it to an outside source. In some cases, personal information is taken as well. At best, spyware will slow the performance of a system considerably. At worst, it can cause you to be flooded with popup advertisements all at once. Unfortunately, spyware is overlooked by most antivirus programs. This is why it is essential to have a...

Computer crashes and Windows errors are the worst things that could happen to your computer. It is an unpleasant experience and not to mention costly and inconvenient. Computer technicians do not come cheap as well as computer parts. The good news is that such computer problems can be avoided with proper maintenance and prevention. You could be spared the loss of important files and cash by cleaning your operating system’s registry, where around 80% of computer problems start from. Computer registries cause problems when they overflow with unwanted data and information fed to it by the Internet. Users should therefore exercise utmost responsibility in their Internet surfing activities. The frequent installation and un-installation of applications, utilities, programs, and games can slow down your system. For every program or application you install, data is entered to your registry. They continue to accumulate as you keep on installing more programs. Your registry is bound to crash if you keep this up and do not remove unnecessary data as you go. It is also not advisable to remove programs without following the appropriate steps. If you try to remove programs incorrectly, there is a tendency to leave several “orphan registry keys, which also add to the size of information your registry is already carrying. Bulky programs such as Norton products come with hundreds of registry entries that using the correct removal tools would not suffice. Furthermore, when you remove entries from the registry, place holders or empty registry keys usually remain, not much help to reducing your registry size. Malicious spyware and viruses are also capable of inputting fallacious entries to your windows registry. They could even alter existing entries that cause errors in your system. Your PC system works by loading the registry into the hard disk. Each time you shut down, changes made to the registry are entered in the registry files in the physical memory. So when your system crashes, the registry files cannot be updated with the new data. This results in abrupt shutdowns and system crashes. Your registry also sustains damage. What to Do To make sure that your registry is clean and get peace of mind, take the following simple but often taken for granted steps....
