What are DSCompatFilter3.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library DSCompatFilter3.dll Errors

DSCompatFilter3.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like DSCompatFilter3.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. Video Edit Magic) could share the same DSCompatFilter3.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 DSCompatFilter3.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Video Edit Magic is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common DSCompatFilter3.dll errors include:

Your DSCompatFilter3.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Video Edit Magic), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, DSCompatFilter3.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Video Edit Magic, system crash while loading DSCompatFilter3.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.
