what does the following mean.
" Missing DLL/OCX/com classes"

[Budfred]

When did you see this message? What programs were you trying to run? What version of Windows are you using?

The only thing I can tell you from what you have asked is the a DLL file is a crucial one for programs. It contains basic information that the program neess to run.

Surprisingly enough it sounds like what it says:
dll = a library; ocx = an activeX control; com = a registration entry (eg CLSID for a GUI) that an application (probably java/j++ program) requires is missing.

They are likely to be required for such as (though not necessarily) a webpage applet to run. Maybe a plugin was corrupted or didn't download or JRE is not properly installed.

More specifics required to take away the guesswork ;) If it is from a webpage then by posting the url here it could be checked out by others to see if the error is duplicated.
