ddmon5-64x.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like ddmon5-64x.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. DeskPDF Creator) could share the same ddmon5-64x.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 ddmon5-64x.dll is attempted to be loaded either when DeskPDF Creator is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common ddmon5-64x.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - ddmon5-64x.dll.
- ddmon5-64x.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Windows\System32\ddmon5-64x.dll.
- Cannot register ddmon5-64x.dll.
- Cannot start DeskPDF Creator. A required component is missing: ddmon5-64x.dll. Please install DeskPDF Creator again.
- Failed to load ddmon5-64x.dll.
- The application has failed to start because ddmon5-64x.dll was not found.
- The file ddmon5-64x.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because ddmon5-64x.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your ddmon5-64x.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with DeskPDF Creator), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, ddmon5-64x.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading DeskPDF Creator, system crash while loading ddmon5-64x.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.
