    What error messages are you getting? The dll files are concerning which application in particular?

    Not sure if this may help your situation but it can not hurt but help your PC

    CCleaner
    Download CCleaner 2.09.600 - FileHippo.com
    On the right hand side, click download latest version

    Try to write down your error messages you get and post them

    I'd check for a memory related hardware problem first if getting read errors during boot or blue screen errors. Run a memory diagnostic such as Memtest86 for several hours or overnight. If you get any errors, you have a problem (well, 99% of the time). Overheating due to dust buildup on the memory modules themselves can also create errors. Also, specific detailed error messages are generally more useful than paraphrased ones.

    If the errors are generic Windows' faults once Windows has loaded, I'd do a hard drive scan using the manufacturer's diagnostic to confirm drive is good and files are not getting corrupted, then consider what has recently changed and undo it and/or do a System Restore.

    If the errors are due to a DLL getting changed to the wrong version due to a flaky software install, you can verify DLL versions with the System File Checker tool. Note if the dllcache version got replaced too, you're hosed and need to figure out the correct version manually or reinstall the application using the DLL.

    Which file do I have to download to run it on windows xp?

    Do I have to install it like a normal program,and restart the PC to scan it?

    Try this and run with XP disc in drive if you have it

    How to use scannow sfc...

    The main reason for using this utility is when you suspect there may be a problem with a Windows XP system file.

    Perhaps you get a dialog box appear informing you of a problem with a .dll file, or your program will just not load! It is therefore worth checking to see if there are any corrupt system files using scannow sfc.

    To do this simply go to the Run box on the Start Menu and type in:

    Sfc /scannow

    This command will immediately initiate the Windows File Protection service to scan all protected files and verify their integrity, replacing any files with which it finds a problem.
