swedish_compiled_words.dic is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like swedish_compiled_words.dic, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like FileCoAuth.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Steam) could share the same swedish_compiled_words.dic 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 DIC 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 swedish_compiled_words.dic is attempted to be loaded either when Steam is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common swedish_compiled_words.dic errors include:
- Access Violation at address - swedish_compiled_words.dic.
- swedish_compiled_words.dic could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\tenfoot\resource\wordlists\swedish_compiled_words.dic.
- Cannot register swedish_compiled_words.dic.
- Cannot start Steam. A required component is missing: swedish_compiled_words.dic. Please install Steam again.
- Failed to load swedish_compiled_words.dic.
- The application has failed to start because swedish_compiled_words.dic was not found.
- The file swedish_compiled_words.dic is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because swedish_compiled_words.dic was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your swedish_compiled_words.dic file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Steam), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, swedish_compiled_words.dic file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Steam, system crash while loading swedish_compiled_words.dic, 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.
