What are AForge.Video.VFW.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library AForge.Video.VFW.dll Errors

AForge.Video.VFW.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like AForge.Video.VFW.dll, 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. Free Webcam Recorder) could share the same AForge.Video.VFW.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.Video.VFW.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.Video.VFW.dll errors include:

Your AForge.Video.VFW.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.Video.VFW.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Free Webcam Recorder, system crash while loading AForge.Video.VFW.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.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many AForge.Video.VFW.dll error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the AForge.Video.VFW.dll error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.



If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your AForge.Video.VFW.dll File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate AForge.Video.VFW.dll file version.

    Windows 10: C:\Program Files (x86)\freepicturesolutions\Free Webcam Recorder\

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying AForge.Video.VFW.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Free Picture Resizer typically does not release Free Webcam Recorder DLL files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer.
