GarbageGather.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like GarbageGather.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like 7za.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. EaseUS Partition Master Free Edition) could share the same GarbageGather.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 GarbageGather.dll is attempted to be loaded either when EaseUS Partition Master Free Edition is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common GarbageGather.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - GarbageGather.dll.
- GarbageGather.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\EaseUS\EaseUS Partition Master 13.5\bin\GarbageGather.dll.
- Cannot register GarbageGather.dll.
- Cannot start EaseUS Partition Master Free Edition. A required component is missing: GarbageGather.dll. Please install EaseUS Partition Master Free Edition again.
- Failed to load GarbageGather.dll.
- The application has failed to start because GarbageGather.dll was not found.
- The file GarbageGather.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because GarbageGather.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your GarbageGather.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with EaseUS Partition Master Free Edition), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, GarbageGather.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading EaseUS Partition Master Free Edition, system crash while loading GarbageGather.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.
