Go to Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter. In the resulting
Command Prompt window, type: SFC /SCANNOW , and hit enter.
You may be prompted to insert your Windows CD in the CD Drive.

SFC = System File Checker. SFC will scan your system and replace missing
or damaged XP system files with the correct version.

Afterward, perform a "tune-up":

1. Perform a DISK CLEANUP:
(Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup)

2. Go to Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter. In the Command
Prompt window type: CHKDSK /F , and hit enter, answer "yes" and
reboot your computer.

3. Afterward, perform a DEFRAG of your hard drive.

You've already gotten info on how to run SFC to replace Windows files; for
dlls from other programs, you'll likely have to reinstall those programs.

By the way, why do you think you have damaged dlls? Are you getting specific
error messages, or is this just a wild guess?
