    Missing DLL file


    Sorry if this is in the wrong area.

    I have a brand new Dell Inspiron and was missing the msstdfmt.dll file. I downloaded it and put it in the system32 folder, but it still says it is not there. Can anyone tell me what could be wrong and how to fix it?

    Thank you

    hi harbors welcome ,the .dll file has to be registered in the registry for it to work correctly , at the run command type "regsvr /msstdfmt.dll" with out the qoutes :)

    Thanks for the replies I tried the utube video and I have it stalled but when I run the command it says module failed to load.

    Any ideas?
