Classic Auto-Filter.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like Classic Auto-Filter.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. Mixcraft) could share the same Classic Auto-Filter.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 Classic Auto-Filter.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Mixcraft is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common Classic Auto-Filter.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - Classic Auto-Filter.dll.
- Classic Auto-Filter.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Acoustica Mixcraft 8\VST\3rdParty\Classic Auto-Filter.dll.
- Cannot register Classic Auto-Filter.dll.
- Cannot start Mixcraft. A required component is missing: Classic Auto-Filter.dll. Please install Mixcraft again.
- Failed to load Classic Auto-Filter.dll.
- The application has failed to start because Classic Auto-Filter.dll was not found.
- The file Classic Auto-Filter.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because Classic Auto-Filter.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your Classic Auto-Filter.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Mixcraft), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, Classic Auto-Filter.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Mixcraft, system crash while loading Classic Auto-Filter.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.
