A required .DLL file was not found Thursday, June 7, 2001 at 4:22 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Erica (1 messages posted) Whenever I start windows 98 I get a message that reads "A required .DLL file, PNCRT.DLL was not found". Not only do I not know what is causing this to happen, but I also don't even know what a .DLL file is. I have deleted programs recently (too many to count) to free up memory because I was getting "illegal operations" messages whenever I opened or closed a prog. However, my computer is a little dusty and I wonder if there is some inexpensive way to clean the inside components safely. I am wondering if someone could tell me what this error message means, and possibly how I can fix it. I am thisclose to throwing my computer out the window :( Responses to this message: re: A required .DLL file was not found (Rundll: Thursday, June 7, 2001 at 4:53 pm) re: A required .DLL file was not found (noone: Sunday, October 12, 2003 at 9:46 pm) All messages in this thread [show all] A required .DLL file was not found (Erica: Thu, Jun 7, 2001, 4:22 pm) re: A required .DLL file was not found (noone: Sun, Oct 12, 2003, 9:46 pm) re: A required .DLL file was not found (Rundll: Thu, Jun 7, 2001, 4:53 pm) re: A required .DLL file was not found (pete: Wed, Mar 12, 2003, 1:27 pm) re: A required .DLL file was not found (Jay_okay: Mon, Jun 13, 2005, 6:02 pm) Reply or follow-up to this message Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows 98 Discussion Forum
