ok a lot of programs require this dll. mfc42.dll. so i downloaded it and tried putting it in the system folder. but there is already a folder named it. it is empty. it will not let me delete it as it says that access is denied the file may be in use. i tried getting rid of it in safe mode, adding it to CCleaner and "tried" use the command to no avail. what do i need to do?
