d3a.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like d3a.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like dpnsvr.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. WarBirds demo (full install)) could share the same d3a.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 d3a.dll is attempted to be loaded either when WarBirds demo (full install) is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common d3a.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - d3a.dll.
- d3a.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\iEntertainment Network\Warbirds\Sounds\d3a.dll.
- Cannot register d3a.dll.
- Cannot start WarBirds demo (full install). A required component is missing: d3a.dll. Please install WarBirds demo (full install) again.
- Failed to load d3a.dll.
- The application has failed to start because d3a.dll was not found.
- The file d3a.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because d3a.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your d3a.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with WarBirds demo (full install)), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, d3a.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading WarBirds demo (full install), system crash while loading d3a.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.
