What are FileDownloader.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library FileDownloader.dll Errors

FileDownloader.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like FileDownloader.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like DriversForFree.Client.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Drivers For Free) could share the same FileDownloader.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 FileDownloader.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Drivers For Free is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common FileDownloader.dll errors include:

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

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your FileDownloader.dll issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the FileDownloader.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many FileDownloader.dll error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
