Dynamic Link Library lame_dshow.ax Errors

lame_dshow.ax is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like lame_dshow.ax, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like MpSigStub.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. MP3 to Ringtone Gold) could share the same lame_dshow.ax file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.

Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared AX file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when lame_dshow.ax is attempted to be loaded either when MP3 to Ringtone Gold is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common lame_dshow.ax errors include:

• Access Violation at address - lame_dshow.ax.
• lame_dshow.ax could not be found.
• Cannot find C:\Windows\SysWOW64\lame_dshow.ax.
• Cannot register lame_dshow.ax.
• Cannot start MP3 to Ringtone Gold. A required component is missing: lame_dshow.ax. Please install MP3 to Ringtone Gold again.
• Failed to load lame_dshow.ax.
• The application has failed to start because lame_dshow.ax was not found.
• The file lame_dshow.ax is missing or corrupt.
• This application failed to start because lame_dshow.ax was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Your lame_dshow.ax file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with MP3 to Ringtone Gold), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, lame_dshow.ax file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading MP3 to Ringtone Gold, system crash while loading lame_dshow.ax, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
