Thread: dll

**Skweeky** · 07-23-2006, 05:40 PM

I know this should be in software or something but I'm a lounge cat and my current state of mind doesn't allow me togo wandering outside the bounderies of my usual habitat

Therefore;

can someone please explain how I open a dll file?
I need it so I can play my new stolen game

Double click it and Windows'll ask if you want to ad it to the registry.
If it's a game though, there's a good chance you have to copy it to the installation folder instead, thus overwriting another .dll file with the same name.

Any instructions came with the game with the game at all? .txt or .nfo file maybe?

it's shareware with a 30 day limit, however I don't imagine you'll need it much longer than that. I don't know if it will do everything you want, I'm a cawk at computers.

Mno, there's nothing there
It doesn't say anything about the registry, it just wants to know what program I want to open it with

JPaul,

tried that thingy. Don't have clue what it did...
It opened the file but I don't know what to do with it next. It just looks like a list of parameters

Why couldn't that idiot just give me the bloody code without putting it in some obscure format nobody knows???

Well I think you need to disassemble the dll, make your amendments then reassemble it, however I have no idea what that means.

A Direct Link Library file isn't meant to be opened by itself. It's part of something else.

It's a Dynamic Link Library file and it isn't part of something else, that's the whole point, they can be used by many programmes. It's a way of saving RAM memory.
