• DLL files can also get deleted due to an ignorant user or a malicious program such as a virus or a spyware. Most viruses are designed to act in this manner because it cripples the system in the long run.

There are specialized websites which distribute the original unmodified DLL files, so if you know where to search for the DLL files you can find them.

You might have to shell out the Windows XP installation CD which might be asked while the file checker is running.
