Where the Dll things go?

Question

One program says it can't find some dlls. So I've got them now from the net, but where I should put them?
Please, explain it slowly and clearly, i don't undrstand much about computers and English isn't my native lanuage. Thanks.

Answer 1

In a folder location called C:\I386

But as long as you know not to erase it and your program can detect it, it can go anywhere.

Answer 2

they are thw dynamic link libraries files

when a program is executed it need links to some hardware components

eg" - a game needs a link with graphics card to use it

the link is proveded by direct x. through dx__.dll

if it is not present in the system there will be no interface between graphics card and game program

Answer 3

Using Windows? most dlls go in:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM

OR C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32

But it would help to know what program you are installing the dlls to.

Try to google: "where to install (name of dlls)"
