Missing dll

What is best way to identify and/or reload missing dlls? Should the Vista Operating System disc be used? Problem is a game that will not load saves, always goes back to the game introduction. Have tried un-installing and re-installing but no difference. Chat help from Electronic Arts unable to resolve. I think it is a missing dll file. Saved ganes and check points are in "Documents" but something is missing that links them to the game program.
Suggestions and help please.

Thank you for your kind reply. I read the Windows recommendations on using the "repair" feature contained on the Vista Operating system disc. My system is two years old and fully updated; includes SP-1 and 2. Not sure I want to go through the process of un-installing all of the updates, running the repair, then re-installing the service packs.
Any easy way or this is the best way?
Thanks,

You can try this but I am not as hopeful

In search type cmd (do not hit enter) right click and run as administrator

In cmd type sfc /scannow.

May not work, but no loss if it does not.

Rich46,
Thanks, I tried running the cmd as you suggested. Always amazed at what can be done if you know how. It ran for eight minutes and reported; "did not find any integrity violations". At this point I plan to stop trying to resolve this issue and upgrade to "Windows 7 within the next seven months. I have had Dell and EA work on this issue without success. End of story for now.
Thanks again for trying, much appreciated.
