DLL's (dynamic link library), basically a combination of executables files that can be used by Windows programs to run properly. Some time you received a sudden pop-up message "System could not fine this DLL file" for example binkw32, maxkernl. Normally you received these types of messages when you installed any new application, computer driver program and some time due to computer mishandling. Actually some DLL files are deactivated due to new software's installation but don't worry you can reactivate these file with the help of a simple command called Regsvr32.
To activate the missing dll file go the Start then Run and type here "regsrv32 with missing dll file name" for example you missed "urlmon.dll" file then you will type in Run "regsvr32 urlmon.dll" and press Ok button. Your system will activate this missing file and hopefully you will not get this missing message again

Stop XP Pop-ups
First off, never trust a company that exploits a technology to advertise that they can prevent it. Second, yes you can stop these. You are probably familiar with Windows (a/k/a MSN) Messenger which is used for Instant Messaging. There is another program called Messenger that is used in networks to transmit and send Alerter service messages between clients and servers.
Even though you'll never use it, unless you are on a network, by default it is turned on, causing an open hole in your XP firewall for pop-up advertising to get through. Here's what to do if you want to stop Messenger...
Go to Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services (or Start / Run and type in " services.msc "). This will bring up a long list of Windows services that are running or available on your system.
Find "Messenger" and double click to open the Properties box. In the "Startup Type" field, change the setting to "Disable". If any services depend on Messenger and fail to start, then change to "manual".
