What are Codec.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library Codec.dll Errors

Codec.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like Codec.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like regsvr32.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Sony Ericsson PC Suite) could share the same Codec.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 Codec.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Sony Ericsson PC Suite is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common Codec.dll errors include:

Your Codec.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Sony Ericsson PC Suite), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, Codec.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Sony Ericsson PC Suite, system crash while loading Codec.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.
