Symptoms of Missing DLL Problems:

You run a program and receive a message:

Cannot find the file xxxxxxxx.exe (or one of its components.)
Error starting program. A required .DLL file xxxxxxxx.DLL was not found.

Causes of DLL Errors & Why DLL Errors Occur?

Some of the common reasons for DLL errors are listed below:
1. A software was uninstalled that deleted a .dll file required by another program.
2. A new program could have been installed, overwriting existing DLLs with newer, older or incompatible DLL files.
3. Invalid or incorrect DLL entries in the Windows registry
4. A bad installation of a program corrupted one or more files causing the .dll errors.
5. Another user or program maliciously or mistakenly deleted the .dll file or an associated file.
6. A hardware issue exists with the computer, such as a faulty hard disk drive or memory causing damage to DLL files

Solution for Missing DLL Problems:

Step 1:
Reinstall the application that is reporting the error. This will usually replace any missing components as well as put right any registry entries that might be contributing to the error.

Step2:
If you recently installed a new program on your PC and began receiving DLL errors after the installation, try checking the manufacturer’s website for updates, if there are no updates available, uninstall the program and see if your problems are solved.

The increasing in temporary files leads to shrink of swapping area done by pagefile.sys, and decreases the system performance. Junk files also scattering files all over the hard drive. This increases the size of the indexing file of the disk partition which will make the windows search utility much slower. Moreover, continued scattering of junk files makes other files highly fragmented over the drive. This fragmentation creates significant movement of the physical arm of the hard drive and thus shortens hard drive’s operating life and slows down the system performance.

I’m going to show you a few ways to clean up those annoying junk files.
