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