What are mailres2.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library mailres2.dll Errors

mailres2.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like mailres2.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. Windows Live Essentials 2012) could share the same mailres2.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 mailres2.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Windows Live Essentials 2012 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common mailres2.dll errors include:

Your mailres2.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Windows Live Essentials 2012), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, mailres2.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Windows Live Essentials 2012, system crash while loading mailres2.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.

  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the mailres2.dll error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.



If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your mailres2.dll File (Caution: Advanced)

Download mailres2.dll Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying mailres2.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Windows Live Essentials 2012 DLL files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing mailres2.dll and all other DLL files for Windows Live Essentials 2012. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
