What format are the things you can't open i.e. what three letter extension do they have after the filename (after the dot)?

DLL stands for Dynamic Link Library. In brief terms, a library of code modules which can be shared by several application programs and/or system functions.

There are a number of possible causes of errors like a DLL file having been deleted/corrupted in some way or an infection (which seems likely in your case given your description).

It looks like you may have installed System Healer by mistake. I would run Malwarebytes (https://www.malwarebytes.org/), Superantispyware (http://www.superantispyware.com/) and Adwcleaner (http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/Removal-Tools/AdwCleaner.shtml).

Also check the Add-ons and Options (including Search Engines) in Firefox Tools (and the equivalent in any other browsers on your machine) to make sure the web pages haven't been added to defaults.

Me thick how do I do that?
Laurie.
It depends how the software was installed in the first place - may have been part of the original system, from a CD or downloaded.

What format are the things you can't open i.e. what three letter extension do they have after the filename (after the dot)?
As Poohbear asked previously, what sort of files are you trying to open? We might be able to advise better once we know.

A screen shot of what you can see when the message comes up might help.

Just tryed adobe flash player.
after the dot is exe.
.exe denotes an executable program, which processes files (as opposed to a downloaded file to open with a program).
If it is Adobe Flash Player that isn't working you can download and install it from Here. Remember to uncheck any other suggestions to install "helpful" software like Macafee first.

If another installer is running it may be that something has got stuck. You could try closing tasks in Task Manager but it may be simpler to shut the laptop down and then switch it on again. That may then allow you to reinstall Flash Player.
Trouble is that one can't check everything without access to the machine. You may have to take it to a fix it shop.

Yes I do get the message that a installer is running
If you shut down then power back up do you still get the message? There are some great tools we could use to access your machine remotely but you would need to get rid of that error first so you can install them.

Try off and on again then delete all your downloads unless you know what they are (and definitely all those flash installers) and try the download again.

Will try that also will try the disc that came with the computor, just in case its me deleting something that I shouldn't have.
