system error

i've just tried downloading a pc game to my laptop and when i try to open it i'm getting this system error message

The program can't start because OpenAL32.dll is missing from your computer.
Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem

erm....why and how? and wtf?

I was a PC gamer about 10 yrs ago, and once had the same problem.
Fellow gamers instructed me to websearch for and download the missing dll file
Download your missing dll-files - DLL-files.com

I can't remember what else they instructed - it was too long ago

Re: system error

Try downloading the game again its just a missing or corrupt file might have been a faulty download.

Re: system error

if you find u get another .dll problem after finding one that was missing. It could be missing video codecs/.dlls i had this problem recently, Fixed by installing a codec pack like this one

CCCP - Combined Community Codec Pack
