.DLL DELETE
by keith » Wed 25 Feb, 2004 11:42 am
Win. ME - 1000MHZ athlon pro. 256 MB ram 30 GB harddrive. My brother installed a game called Sim Safari on my parents computer and i went to uninstal it since he noi longer uses it and its a waste of space, and i went into "add or remove programs" to uninstall it and it would complete the instalation, so i was gonna manually delete it all until i came across a .DLL file and when i went to delete it it naturally, said its being used by windows and may affect other programs. What are the chances or wreckin somethin if i whipe out that dll file? is it possible something else could be using it?
if any suggestions, help would be appreciated

Deleting a dll file is a very serious action; you have to be very careful when you want to delete 1. Because deleting some dlls might stops your system from working at all.
The reason that you couldn’t delete the dll file that belongs to the game is that there is program working at the background using this specific dll file, which why windows shows a message that it can’t delete.
Many games come with a program that works at the background the like auto update programs.
Even if you uninstall the program, some of them are left behind. You can figure the program that you’re looking for by running the task manager and close it from there.
So you can be able to delete the file.
But you have to be careful again when you delete any DLL file
