I am trying to open a .dll file, and my computer won't let me. Does anybody know why? It is searching for a program to open it, but it can't find one.

ummm, why? You are unable to see anything in a .dll file. They contain pre-defined functions for windows and the system and other programs that are written to use them and are compiled by a program and you can NOT view them.

Right click on it, OPEN OTHER > NOTEPAD

What about installing them?

Nothing to install, just drop them in the correct DIR.

What about installing them?

go to a CMD prompt, START>RUN>type "CMD"

Type regsvr32 "path/dllname"

its not installing them, its registering it so the system knows where its located.
