What are gstdshowvideosink.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library gstdshowvideosink.dll Errors

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

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