Reader Question:
“Hi Wally, How do I fix the Coredll.dll error, it appears when I try to start my computer.” - Derek P., USA

Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:

Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).
Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.

Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.
