? About a DLL error

What program are you seeing this message in?

 

Nope, not a kiss of death . When your computer starts, it automatically loads some programs. Apparently one program is set to load on your computer when it starts up, so it tries to find that DLL file "vistacontrols.dll". For some reason it can't find it, so it displays that error.

There are a few fixes:

You can try to reinstall the software that uses that DLL. I did a quick Google search and found that Kodak EasyShare uses this DLL- so that might be the program that is messed up.

Or you can disable this program from trying to start up when Windows starts by clicking Start > Run > type "msconfig" (no quotes), press enter. Select "Selective Startup" and then click on the Startup tab. Uncheck that Kodak program on there. Click OK. If that worked, once you restart your computer, it will not give you the error.

So I would first try reinstalling the program. If that doesn't work, remove it from the startup list.

Good luck.

 

Try downloading and running TweakNow:

It's free, only 901KB, and it works.

You can safely delete the green ones. Check the locations/programs of the unsure ones. If it belongs to something that is no longer there, nix it.

De nada.
