What the DLL is That?

March 8, 2008 – 2:25 PM

When a DLL is identified as the culprit of a system crash, the less troubleshooting-familiar users may have problems determining just what application or driver may be at fault. Google is a great way to find out all sorts of information about errors, but Microsoft has a great resource to help in this situation as well. The online DLL Help Database not only lets you see which Microsoft apps are tied to a particular DLL, but also which versions are associated with particular applications for those times when a DLL version conflict may be a factor. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=/servicedesks/fileversion/dllinfo.asp
