How to Install Browseui.dll

Microsoft Internet Explorer and other Windows programs rely on browseui.dll, a Dynamic Link Library file, to properly carry out several essential processes. If the browseui.dll on your computer gets deleted by accident or corrupted by malicious software, you may experience stability and functionality issues with Internet Explorer and other programs. To correct these issues, you can download and install a clean copy of the file.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Open your Web browser. Navigate to a site where you can download browseui.dll for free. A link to one such site can be found in the Resources section below.

2. Click the download link and save the file to your hard drive.

3. Double-click the downloaded file to open it in Winzip or your computer .zip file program. Click the "Unzip" or "Extract" button to extract the .dll file from the .zip file. When prompted to select a destination for the file, choose your computer's desktop.

4. Double-click the "My Computer" icon so that you can browse through the Windows directory. Open up the Windows system folder. This folder is located at "C:\Windows\System32" in 32-bit Windows XP and Vista, "C:\Windows\SysWOW64" in 64-bit Windows XP and Vista, "C:\WINNT\System32" in Windows NT and 2000, and "C:\Windows\System" in Windows 95, 98 and ME.

5. Drag the browseui.dll file you extracted to the desktop into this system folder. You may see a message asking you if you want to replace the existing file with the new file; if you do, click "Yes."

6. Restart your computer. Windows won't be able to recognize the new .dll file until you reboot.
