A user complained that when he attempts to open a program, he gets an error message saying that a .dll file is missing. He wanted to know what could be done about that. Since I did not have time to take his call on the air, let me do it right here.
The letters dll stand for dynamic link library. These files contain code that might be used by several programs. Rather than include the code in each program, it is kept in a single file. The programs access the code when they need it.
If the .dll file is missing from an application, try reinstalling the program. That's usually a quick fix.In the caller's case, the missing file apparently is from Windows. If this suddenly happened, the file may have been accidentally deleted. Or, it could be corrupt.
Reinstalling Windows is a hassle. Before doing that, I'd go to the Web and track down another copy. There are many sites on the Web that offer .dll downloads.
Here are two:

Find missing .DLL files on the internet

When Some Specific Websites Do Not Open On Your Computer
Your computer is connected to the Internet and you can reach most websites just fine but there’s a problem when you try to open some particular website(s).
Though that website is unreachable from your computer, it is definitely not down because you are able to access the same website from another computer at home.Facing a similar problem ? Here’s how to diagnose and fix the issue:
Fix 1:
- Check your Windows HOSTS file -
- Make sure there’s no entry in the hosts file that maps the website’s address to localhost or an incorrect IP address like 127.0.0.1
- it is a possibility if you have imported some third party hosts file.
- cmd /k notepad c:\WINDOWS\system32 \drivers\ etc\hosts
Fix 2:
- Find Faults in the Pipeline
- Paypal website may be up and running but it is possible that the real problem lies with a router that is between you and the computer hosting the Paypal website.
- Do a traceroute and check for messages like “Request Timed Out”
- they will help you find the location of the breakdown.
- Type the following command in the Run Window:
cmd /k tracert www.paypal.com
- remember to replace Paypal with address of the website that is unreachable.
Fix 3:
- Clear DNS Cache
- The DNS cache keeps a record of sites that you have recently visited on your computer.
- If that gets corrupted, you may have issues opening sites that were previously accessible without problems.
- Type
- cmd /k ipconfig /displaydns in the Run window to see the cache entries.
- If that unreachable website is listed in the cache, type
- cmd /k ipconfig /flushdns to clear the cache.
Fix 4:
- Website May Be Blocked
- The chances are rare but it is possible that access to some particular website may be have been restricted by the Office firewall.
- To test this, send an email to www@web2mail. com with the problematic website URL in the subject field.
- If the website is up, you will get a text copy of the web page in an email message.
Fix 5:
- Suspend the Anti-Virus and Firewall
- If you are running an external software firewall or anti-virus program (like Norton, ZoneAlarm, etc), exit and restart the web browser.
- Is the problem solved now ?When nothing works, open 192.168.1.1 and reboot the modem.
- If that fails, restart your computer and as a final step, call your ISP support

Speed up Firefox
Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:
- Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.
- Alter the entries as follows:
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once. - Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.
If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now..

An easy way to hack a website !!
If you have the html and javascript knowledge then you can access password protected websites. So you want to know how??
keep reading.....
- Open the website you want to hack. Provide wrong username-password in its log in form.(e.g : Username : me and Password: ' or 1=1 --)An error will occur saying wrong username-password. Now be preparedYour experiment starts from here...
- Right click anywhere on that error page =>> go to view source.
- There you can see the html codings with javascripts.
- There you find somewhat like this....<_form action="..login....">
- Before this login information copy the url of the site in which you are.(e.g :"<_form..........action=http://www.targetwebsite.com/login.......>")
- Then delete the javascript from the above that validates your information in the server.(Do this very carefully, ur success to hack the site depends upon this i.e how efficiently you delete the javascripts that validate ur account information)
- Then take a close look for "<_input name="password" type="password">"[without quotes] -> replace "<_type=text> " there instead of "<_type=password>". See there if maxlength of password is less than 11 then increase it to 11 (e.g : if then write )
- Just go to file => save as and save it any where in your hardisk with ext.html(e.g: c:\chan.html)
- Reopen your target web page by double clicking 'chan.html' file that you saved in yourharddisk earlier.
- U see that some changes in current page as compared to original One. Don't get worried.
- Provide any username[e.g:hacker] and password[e.g:' or 1=1 --]Congrats!!!!!! You have successfully cracked the above website and entered into the account of Ist user saved in the server's database.
Please read "_form"="form" & "_type"="type" & "_input"="input" without quotes]
The above trick won't work on the websites using latest technique to protect there servers. Still you may find some websites to use this trick.
Enjoy !!!!

20% Faster Internet Connection
A nice little tweak for XP.
Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..)
Here's how to get it back:
Click Start-->Run-->type "gpedit.msc" without the "This opens the group policy editor.
Then go to:Local Computer Policy-->Computer Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->Network-->QOS Packet Scheduler-->Limit Reservable BandwidthDouble click on Limit Reservable bandwidth.
By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default.
So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO.
This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.
This made my net connection fast as hell.
