Hi

I assume that this copy of MFC42.DLL is placed in the laplink
folder. You should not delete the MFC42.DLL that is placed in
the Windows System32 folder

Download Process Explorer from SysInternals (task manager on
steroids) and select "Find DLL..." under Find (or just use the
keyboard shortcut Ctrl+G). Fill in the file name for the DLL.

In the list, find the process(es) that uses the DLL file you want
to delete, check the path for the DLL entries listed in the search
result, and then kill the process(es) that uses the specific DLL
you want to delete.

You can use Process Explorer to kill a process also.

Try booting into safe mode and deleting from there.
