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