aida_xpicons.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like aida_xpicons.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like aida32.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. AIDA32) could share the same aida_xpicons.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 aida_xpicons.dll is attempted to be loaded either when AIDA32 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common aida_xpicons.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - aida_xpicons.dll.
- aida_xpicons.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\AIDA32_v3.94.2\aida_xpicons.dll.
- Cannot register aida_xpicons.dll.
- Cannot start AIDA32. A required component is missing: aida_xpicons.dll. Please install AIDA32 again.
- Failed to load aida_xpicons.dll.
- The application has failed to start because aida_xpicons.dll was not found.
- The file aida_xpicons.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because aida_xpicons.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your aida_xpicons.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with AIDA32), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, aida_xpicons.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading AIDA32, system crash while loading aida_xpicons.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.
