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