Okay, I have Windows Vista 64-bit. Very recently, I started encountering two major .dll errors. The biggest error is the ADVAPI32.dll missing error. I get a message telling me the ADVAPI32.dll file is missing. I have checked in System32 and it is still there, at about 1,038kb.
I’ve seen solutions that involve using a registry cleaner but I can’t open the registry cleaners because that file is ‘missing’. Many of programs like Internet Explorer 32bit, Microsoft Word, MSN Messenger, all of my installed games, registry cleaners, anti-virus programs, and probably more programs will not open because of this.
I also get an error message that says ntdll.dll is missing from the ‘dynamic library’ when I try to open other programs.
How can I fix these .dll errors without using a registry cleaner?
Also, I tried doing a system restore from its farthest restore point. It simply will not work. I need a solution please!
Tried bringing up the command line as suggested in answer# 2.
Came up with
RegSvr32:
"The module ‘ADVAPI32.dll’ was loaded but the entry point DLLRegisterServer was not found.
Make sure that ‘ADVAPI32.dll’ is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again."

You may just have an unregistered dll situation here. Try this:
1. Click the Windows button.
2. Type
cmd
and press enter. This will bring up a black "DOS Box".
3. In the box, enter
cd C:\Windows\System32
and press enter.
4. Enter
regsvr32 ADVAPI32.dll
and press enter.
Hope that helps.
Call your vendor, they will most likely tell you to re-format your hard disk. In this case, get the OS cd and place it in and reinstall it all from scratch, OR, ask a friend to download the .DLL file and replace the one in your system. Good Luck!
