grphmfc.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like grphmfc.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like DotNetInstaller.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne demo) could share the same grphmfc.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 grphmfc.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne demo is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common grphmfc.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - grphmfc.dll.
- grphmfc.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\Max Payne 2 Demo\grphmfc.dll.
- Cannot register grphmfc.dll.
- Cannot start Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne demo. A required component is missing: grphmfc.dll. Please install Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne demo again.
- Failed to load grphmfc.dll.
- The application has failed to start because grphmfc.dll was not found.
- The file grphmfc.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because grphmfc.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your grphmfc.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne demo), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, grphmfc.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne demo, system crash while loading grphmfc.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.
