What are met_ape.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library met_ape.dll Errors

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

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

  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 met_ape.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 met_ape.dll File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate met_ape.dll file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free met_ape.dll files for every applicable version of EZ CD Audio Converter.
