This .dll is used by Microsoft Standard Data Formatting Object DLL option of Windows to help users open some important settings and options for Visual Basic 6 that needs to run data-oriented operations. Although msstdfmt.dll plays a major role for continual smooth operation of a lot of programs that is coded in VB6, often times the case is it is either damaged or corrupted. This will make your computer to run much slower and will cause problems. To resolve this:
-
Download a replacement for your old msstdfmt.dll (search on the web) then place it on your C:/Windows/System32 folder.
-
Re-install if there is a corrupted programs
        Click Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs
        Remove the program that is causing errors
        Restart your computer
        Install the software again.
To register msstdfmt.dll please follow this:
-
Copy the msstdfmt.dll to C:WindowsSystem32 (this is for Windows 95,98 and XP)
Or
C:WinntSystem32 (for Windows NT or 2000)
-
Click Start>Run then type regsvr32 full path of file then click OK.
Ex.:Â regsvr32 C:WindowsSystem32MSSTDFMT.DLL
A message will appear saying that the regsvr32 successfully registered.
If it’s not successfully registered, it will be because of:
-
The file is unregistered or a specific .dll does need to be registered, or not the same as the self registering types that needs an entry point for use of regsvr32.
-
The file has its dependencies like .dll, ocx or tlb files that is most likely missing so you need to look for it at the  documentation for the .dll at Microsoft so you can see if there is anything more to install.

So the best solution for this is to run a complete scan on your computer and this will solve the problem. The second reason could be that could be that you may have made some changes that could have caused the file to go missing. The best solution is that you try restoring the computer to a previous restore point.
The third way to solve this problem is, if this problem occurs only when you use a specific program try reinstalling this program and this will solve the problem. The fourth way that can cause this problem is the problem with a specific driver.
