My pc crashed and I am having a problem reloading my programs and having a user friendly window. the message I get says that several dll's are missing and also a vxd. Can someone tell me how to get this pc straightened out. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times but nothing changes. Thank you,

Which version of Windows are you using? Which DLL's are indicated as missing? What have you reinstalled -- the operating system, the apps? How did you perform the uninstall/reinstall -- through the app's own uninstall routine, through Control Panel,some other way?

Need lots more specifics here.

Many times, when Windows looses a VXD, or it becomes corrupt, it cannot re-create it on it's own.

Start here

And download the files you need.

I often find it necessary to clean out the C:/Windows/system/system32 folder to fix this kind of problem.

Depending on how bad your PC crashed, and how much data you have lost, it might make more sense to format the hard drive and start over.
While drastic, formatting the drive cleans out ALL corrupt files.
