libpng12-0.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like libpng12-0.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. EaseUS Partition Recovery) could share the same libpng12-0.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 libpng12-0.dll is attempted to be loaded either when EaseUS Partition Recovery is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common libpng12-0.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - libpng12-0.dll.
- libpng12-0.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\EaseUS\EaseUS Partition Recovery 8.5\bin\libpng12-0.dll.
- Cannot register libpng12-0.dll.
- Cannot start EaseUS Partition Recovery. A required component is missing: libpng12-0.dll. Please install EaseUS Partition Recovery again.
- Failed to load libpng12-0.dll.
- The application has failed to start because libpng12-0.dll was not found.
- The file libpng12-0.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because libpng12-0.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your libpng12-0.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with EaseUS Partition Recovery), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, libpng12-0.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading EaseUS Partition Recovery, system crash while loading libpng12-0.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.
