How to install DLL and AX files:

If you find that one of the files above is an archive (ZIP or RAR) containing a files that end in ".dll" or ".ax" then follow these instructions:
  1. If the downloaded ZIP or RAR archive contains both a "Release" and a "Release Unicode" directory then:
    1. If you're running Windows 98/Me choose the DLL/AX from the "Release" directory.
    2. If you're running Windows 2000/XP choose the DLL/AX from the "Release Unicode" directory.

  2. Extract the DLL/AX file to:
    1. If you're running Windows 98/Me, "C:\WINDOWS\system".
    2. If you're running Windows XP, "C:\WINDOWS\system32".
    3. If you're running Windows 2000, "C:\WINNT\system32".

  3. Go to Start->Run and type in "cmd" and hit enter. This will bring up the command prompt.

  4. Run the following command "regsvr32 filename.extension". Where "filename.extension" is the DLL or AX file. If you receive a successful message, then the DLL/AX has been successfully installed.
If you want to uninstall run "regsvr32 -u filename.extension" and move the file out of system32.
