Grammy56,
Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
What system do you have and what is the version of Windows that is installed.

If you are using XP try this:
For XP click Start then RUN then type sfc /scannow (space between c and the /).
For further information read this. In a perfect world it will check the files, replace the corrupt one and you'll be set, but it might ask for a disk. The attached article explains what to do if this happens. It's lengthy but it might help with your issue.
Good luck...
VISTA try this: Click START type CMD then right click on the CMD in the window pain and click RUN AS ADMIN. Then type sfc /scannow, just as you would for XP and let it run to verify the files and correct any if there is a corruption.

Welcome to the forums :emotion-21:
You can download the missing DLL file from here or here.
Copy it to a pendrive or CD/DVD, boot your husband's computer into safe mode, insert the pendrive/CD/DVD, and copy the file to the C:\Windows\System32 folder :emotion-5:
