This is Microsoft’s solution for a very specific error: Microsoft says that without this revised da0350.dll, you might not be able to run Visual Basic for Applications macros that use Data Access Objects, resulting in the above error.

The dao350.dll file may or may not be related to video cards—this was just an example. The key here is to pay very close attention to the context of the error and troubleshoot accordingly. If the hardware fails any of your tests, replace the memory or replace the hard drive as soon as possible. We rarely recommend the use of registry cleaners.
