  2. DLL Missing


    The problem is, that the required DLL is not actually even listed there.
    There are just dozens of download adware links from the top to the bottom.

  4. Is steam_api.dll a virus

    DLL Module TODGUB6.dll is misssing

    Hi Stefan,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community.

    Sometimes scanning your PC for virus/malware infection once will not get detected. Scan your PC twice for detecting malware or virus attack by running the anti-virus software and check if the issue is resolved.

    If the issue persist re-register the .dll files by following the steps below and check if you are facing similar issue.

    Dynamic link library (DLL) is a collection of small programs, which can be called upon when needed by the executable program (EXE) that is running. When one of the DLL file is corrupted, then executable program
    will fail to perform properly. So we need to re-register the DLL files.

    • Press Windows key + X and select Command Prompt(Admin).
    • At the command prompt, type the commands mentioned below and press
      Enter
      after each command-
    regsvr32 ntdll.dll /s

    regsvr32 msdxm.ocx /s

    regsvr32 dxmasf.dll /s

    regsvr32 wmp.dll /s

    regsvr32 wmpdxm.dll /s

    • After registering DLL files restart the computer and check if the changes are effective.

    Write back to us with the status of the issue for further assistance. Your reply is important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.

    Thank you.
