DLL load failed: the specific modual could not be found

[grizzlynick]

OK i want to start out by saying that i just found out about this new bit coin system and i think its an amazing system. BUT I think it is simply too complicated for the average computer user. If this is going to work it needs more people and more sites that accepts the bit coin system. a reason someone would use this system would be because it is a lot easier  to transfer purchases. BUT IT ISN'T people just don't have the time or patience to figure out all the terminology. im not tryin to hate on bit coin im just sayin it needs to be extreamly easy for this shit to work so people would find it worth there time and effort. and when i look to find the solution to my problems online all i get is complicated answers. IM NOT A SMART COMPUTER USER, and i need to find the answer to this problem. PLEASE can someone give me simple and easy directions to follow.

thats all it says. it gives me that message on the bottom of my GUIMinor. i dont even know what an DLL is. if there is a full message were would it be located. im so confused

DLL is some a library, every windows system comes with some pre-programmed librabries.
Imagine this:
You have to go to school and you need to take your all books with you.
That would become a heavy briefcase don't you think?
A solution to making it weight less is to keep your books in school, and just taking a few books back home and back to school.

Now a DLL is actually just a storageroom of methods/data for the executables you want to use, if your executables would have to take all those methods and data with him everytime then the executable would be HUGE in size. So Microsoft got the idea to make pre-programmed storagerooms so they don't have to take it with them everytime. But don't expect everything to be in there, you will sometimes still need to create your own methods/data but they will always be based on other DLL's/Libraries/Storagerooms.

Btw, mind showing us some pics or a video of the error?
