If you suspect that you’ve accidentally deleted xvidcore.dll but you’ve already emptied the Recycle Bin, you may be able to recover xvidcore.dll with a free file recovery program. Installing the Xvid software will put one xvidcore.dll file in each of these folders (or just the first one on some Windows installations): If you know where xvidcore.dll should be stored so that the program throwing the error can use it, try copying the file straight out of one of those folders and putting it wherever it needs to go.
