Errors Discussed
This type of errors are common in any system,even when fully updated.There are temporary solutions and permanent solutions.The temporary solutions can turn tedious and one wouldnt recommend it once done himself.
The temporary solution is to download the dll file from a dll sharing website, namely finddll.com and copying it to your system 32 folder
(c drive:windows/system32)-----32 bit versions
(c drive:windows/syswow64)---64 bit versions
But, BEWARE, this type of copy-pasting is not secure in all cases as the dll files may be infected, also, fixing one dll error may lead to another dll error, then another and so on. This kills a lot of time and everytime you install a new app you must download the dll-s particular to that app
