Seriously, I've seen quite a few people contact PC repair labs because of a Corefoundation.dll was not Found error or other dll errors and spend around $150why? What a wasteyou can easily repair it in-house all by yourself.
OK, let me tell you how you can get rid of this error message. This isn't going to be too technical or complicated and even novice users can easily handle this.
First of all this error relates to one of Apple software products that you have installed on your PC. This can be one of the following applications: MobileMe/QuickTime/iTunes or any other program related to Apple software.
Anyway, from the error message itself you can already understand that there is a problem with one of your Apple software program files called Corefoundation.dll, and from some reason that I'll explain soon, Windows indicates that it "was not found".
Dll files are part of almost any Windows based software, without it, that software cannot run or it can run but with errors. In my experience, most Dll file errors usually popup because of 3 problems:
(1) Viruses that might have damaged your PC, including that Dll file.
(2) The remains' of a virus that might have been removed, but damaged your registry file.
(3) Ordinary' corruption of your registry system.
So, in order to repair that Corefoundation.dll was not Found error, you should do the following:
(1) Run a quick virus check via your anti-virus software.
(2) Run a quick registry scan and repair in order to repair the damaged registry record which causes that error message.
For the non-techies among you the registry system is part of your Windows system. It registers' all your software and hardware related applications. When you install something on your PC, it is being registered' by Windows.
As one example, Windows registers the location of the .dll or .exe files that trigger your Apple software applications. In your case, when a registry record related to your Corefoundation.dll got damaged because of the reasons that I have just explained earlier, Windows cannot find' or use' that dll file and eventually you get that error message.
See, I told you this isn't complicated, and I saved you around $150 that most repair labs would have charged you for that.
