- 1). Open your recycle bin. One of the simplest causes of a missing crypt32.dll file is that you might have accidentally deleted it. If you find the file in the recycle bin then right-click on it and click "Restore."
- 2). Re-install a particular program if a crypt32.dll error pops up when you run that program. The re-installation process should not only re-install the program, but also the crypt32.dll file which goes along with the program.
- 3). Install any Windows updates that your computer prompts you to. Included in these updates are often new service packs which can include important .dll files--including crypt32.dll.
- 4). Scan your system with an antivirus program like AVG, Norton or Kaspersky and a malware detecting program such as Spyware Doctor, Malwarebytes or SpyBot. Sometimes an error with the crypt32.dll file can point to a problem in your system registry, which these scans will root out.
- 5). Restore your system to an earlier date, in particular to a date just before you began to receive error messages relating to the crypt32.dll file. If you restore your system to a point before the errors then there is every chance you could restore the file.
