I'm downloading games off the internet, the game downloads fine, but when i try to play it, it gives me this error. How do i fix this?

Rather than try to fix this situation, usually the best solution is to Uninstall the game/software and then reinstall it again.
Many times when you download a program a file can end up incomplete or corrupted so the best fix it to reinstall the whole program.
What you are missing is a "dynamic link library" (.dll) file that belongs in the System 32 folder. Without it your software will not run.
Hope this helps.

I'd recommend downloading and installing Spybot Search and Destroy; that sounds suspiciously like you have a spyware/malware process that's interfering with the execution.
