Have you tried a Repair Install?
Probably the first thing you though of, if its a system DLL file

yes i have didnt fix the problem and the dll files might not be necessary for the system but they are located in the system 32 folder (i know this because i tried to download the dll online which i was able to do but then there would always be another dll missing

If you haven't already back-up any important data and try formatting the HDD and doing a clean install also make sure you have your device drivers disk.

I haven't reformatted but i did to a system restore back to the first day that i got it that didnt fix it either

Well try reformatting and installing again, and see if that sorts the problem. Otherwise the OS disk maybe the problem
