AForge.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like AForge.dll, 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. Free Webcam Recorder) could share the same AForge.dll 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 DLL 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 AForge.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Free Webcam Recorder is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common AForge.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - AForge.dll.
- AForge.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\freepicturesolutions\Free Webcam Recorder\AForge.dll.
- Cannot register AForge.dll.
- Cannot start Free Webcam Recorder. A required component is missing: AForge.dll. Please install Free Webcam Recorder again.
- Failed to load AForge.dll.
- The application has failed to start because AForge.dll was not found.
- The file AForge.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because AForge.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your AForge.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Free Webcam Recorder), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, AForge.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Free Webcam Recorder, system crash while loading AForge.dll, 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.
