SFLISTW8.WOA.dat is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like SFLISTW8.WOA.dat, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like explorer.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Trillian) could share the same SFLISTW8.WOA.dat 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 DAT 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 SFLISTW8.WOA.dat is attempted to be loaded either when Trillian is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common SFLISTW8.WOA.dat errors include:
- Access Violation at address - SFLISTW8.WOA.dat.
- SFLISTW8.WOA.dat could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\SFLISTW8.WOA.dat.
- Cannot register SFLISTW8.WOA.dat.
- Cannot start Trillian. A required component is missing: SFLISTW8.WOA.dat. Please install Trillian again.
- Failed to load SFLISTW8.WOA.dat.
- The application has failed to start because SFLISTW8.WOA.dat was not found.
- The file SFLISTW8.WOA.dat is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because SFLISTW8.WOA.dat was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your SFLISTW8.WOA.dat file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Trillian), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, SFLISTW8.WOA.dat file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Trillian, system crash while loading SFLISTW8.WOA.dat, 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.
