If you were playing a game and for some reason it wasn’t working properly, you may see a DLL error because the game needs a specific .dll file in order to run. If your computer doesn’t have that specific .dll file, your computer won’t be able to play the game.
If you get an error saying “missing staxmem.dll” it means that there’s more than one .dll file with the same name and they are located in different places on your computer. This can happen when a program is trying to operate on one of those files and fails to find them all (usually because they’re located in different folders).
If you’re getting an error saying “This application has failed to start because [file name].dll was not found,” it means that there’s a problem with another program trying to use one of those .dll files.
Run SFC( System file checker) scan
If you’re getting “The specified procedure could not be found” on your computer, this means that Windows can’t find the DLL because your computer’s file system is damaged. The solution is to run an SFC scan.
A System File Checker scan will check for errors in your hard drive and file system and help fix them if there are any problems found. To run the scan, type sfc /scannow at a command prompt. If you’re running into any other issues with your computer, try running this scan first before trying the options below it.
Perform a system restore
One of the first things you might want to try is rebooting your computer. Rebooting is a quick fix for many problems and will sometimes solve DLL errors by itself. If this doesn’t work, however, it’s worth restoring your system back to an earlier date. You can do this by going to “Control Panel” > “System.” From there, click on “System Restore,” which will take you back to a time when the system was working correctly.
