Typelib Registration Utility

Ever have a program that won’t load because it gives you the ” Cannot find file.dll ” Well this error can easily be countered useing the RegTlib program in your C:\Windows Directory. What this program does is re-register Executeable Files (.exe), and Dynamic Link Library Files (.dll, .sys, .drv, .vxd, .mpd, .odl, .tlb, and .ocx) back into the registry so that when you try running the program again it will sudenly work !
Sometimes, system corruption due to fresh or multiple installations, uninstallations, or even simple disk defragmentations moves or corrupts the paths located in the registry or even moves the files needed for these programs all together.
If you ever get an error message about a program missing a file needed for it to load, make a note of what that (or those even) file’s name is and run a search for it by opening start -> Find -> find files and folders and typing in the filename needed, making sure you chose all installed drives to maximise the search (mine reads “C:, D:, and E:”) and hit enter. if you find the file needed, make a copy of it in the find window, and surf to the C:\Windows folder, find RegTlib.exe, and right click on that program and choose “Paste”.
An easier way to do this is to find the RegTlib.exe file right now, and right click on it and make a copy, then surf to the C:\Windows\Sendto directory and copy a shortcut in there of RegTlib.exe. Whenever you need to register one of these files again, all you have to do then is run a search for it, if it’s found, right clisk on it in the find files and folders window and send it to RegTlib.exe.
If you get an error message, then I am afraid the program was corrupted internally and you at this point ( lol.. if you don’t know how yo uncorrupt it like seriously advanced users do ) need to reinstall the application again.
