mshtml.dll appears to be corrupt how do i replace it

I tried issuing the following commands using a command prompt on Windows 7:

regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\mshtml.dll
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\msjava.dll
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\jscript.dll
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\msxml.dll
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\shdocvw.dll

and I get the following error for the first DLL: "The module c:\windows\system32\mshtml.dll" was loaded bu the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found. Make sure that "c:\windows\system32\mshtml.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again". And similar error messages for all of these.

So where can I get valid replacements for these DLLs?

Edit: I did a SFC /SCANNOW command at a command prompt and got zero error messages. Does the SFC /SCANNOW command check these specific .DLLs, I have listed?



Some DLLs can't be registered. MSHTML.DLL is one of them, it doesn't have a DllRegisterServer entrypoint as the error message indicates. This is absolutely normal, and you don't need DLL replacements.

I guess if this article:

I guess that was written for XP. There are other articles for Windows 7/MU issues, one of them is this:

Go to the start menu, find command prompt and right click "run as administrator". You are now in what's called an elevated command prompt. type in "chkdsk" as a command and hit enter. It will check for corrputed or damaged system files.

So why does Microsoft TELL me to register it if it can't be registered?
