Fix those DLL Errors

by Kiven on March 7th, 2008

DLL errors are some of the most common, frustrating, and complicated windows errors to troubleshoot and resolve. Fixing a DLL error is rarely as easy as replacing the DLL, something that I don’t recommend doing even if it does fix the problem.

Below is a list of the 5 most common DLL errors that computer users are seeing right now with links to easy to follow, step-by-step solutions that anyone can handle!

Hal.dll - “Missing Or Corrupt Hal.dll”
The error “Missing or corrupt hal.dll” and other hal.dll errors like it are often caused by boot.ini or hal.dll file issues. This error message usually appears as “Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt - Windows root\system32\hal.dll. Please re-install a copy of the above file.”

Ntdll.dll - “Unknown Hard Error Ntdll.dll”
In almost all cases, ntdll.dll errors are caused by software programs, not the operating system. Common error messages include “STOP: C0000221 unknown hard error \SystemRoot\System32\ntdll.dll”, “NTDLL.DLL Error!” and others.
