Answer 1

Hi,

That message means you're missing a file to run your program. You can find that file here: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?riched20

You will need windows xp or 7zip (free, www.7zip.org) to extract that file from the archive. Put it in the directory of the program you're trying to run.

If you need any more assistance, feel free to contact me.

Take Care,
Ken

Answer 5

A .dll is a dynamic link library extention. it is crutial for whatever program needs it or windows to get everything it has to offer. without it certain things can't run for whatever it goes to. best way to fix it is to uninstall the program it belongs to and reinstall it or if it is the operating system to format your hard drive and start over. however back up all your files before formating since your whole hard drive will be deleted.
