f_WMV.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like f_WMV.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like 4gb_patch.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. MediaMonkey) could share the same f_WMV.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 f_WMV.dll is attempted to be loaded either when MediaMonkey is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common f_WMV.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - f_WMV.dll.
- f_WMV.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\MediaMonkey\Plugins\f_WMV.dll.
- Cannot register f_WMV.dll.
- Cannot start MediaMonkey. A required component is missing: f_WMV.dll. Please install MediaMonkey again.
- Failed to load f_WMV.dll.
- The application has failed to start because f_WMV.dll was not found.
- The file f_WMV.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because f_WMV.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your f_WMV.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with MediaMonkey), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, f_WMV.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading MediaMonkey, system crash while loading f_WMV.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.
