how do i fix a run dll error on my acr laptop

It depends entirely on what the error message your getting sais.

A .dll file is essentially just a part of a program that gets loaded into system memory when it's called by a program that needs it.  If the .dll file is missing, corrupted, the wrong version, etc etc, then the program that's trying to call it will have problems, throw error messages and probably crash.

Now if the program that is throwing the error message is something like Firefox, Chrome or Adobe Reader then the easiest fix is simply to uninstall the program and reinstall it.

However, if Windows itself is throwing the error message at you then a fix may be a bit more complicated.  Uninstalling and reinstalling, or even repairing Windows can be a risky endeavor if you're not sure what you're doing and why.

Nevertheless, if you post a screenshot of the error message then I can try to hunt down a fix.
