Recently I have been having a problem with my computer. I keep getting various error messages with the subject heading: "Unable to load component"
Then the message that follows says:
"The application has failed to start because .dll was not found. Re-installing the application may help fix this problem."
Now, people might think that I omitted the filename that precedes "dll", but I didn't; that's all it said. Anyway, after the message, the program usually starts anyway, but it's still frustrating. I have up-to-date and running registry, virus and malware protection, and I am very knowledgeable about computers, but even I can't figure this out.
Any suggestions?

Sounds like you have one or more orphan dlls. Try downloading and running CCleaner. There is a registry module that may find and remove the orphan files. I suggest you allow CCleaner to make a backup file when asked. Place on the desktop to find it easily if needed. I doubt you will need the backup though. CCleaner is really good to cleanup your computer. I use it at least daily.
Tried that and I still have the same problem. :( Anthony Rupert
Try using the regsvr32 command from the run or cmd line. It may need to be registered or unregistered.

How do I register it? The commands listed on the Microsoft help page don't really explain anything. Anthony Rupert
Now, I can't download ANYthing from the internet. I click a download link but nothing happens. Anthony Rupert
At what point did the downloading become an issue?
If you are addressing the question to me I no longer post here. I quit.
When did downloading become an issue? After following this suggestion: http://www.scribd.com/doc/429557/Re...
