mx_animated_gif_reader.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like mx_animated_gif_reader.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like FileCoAuth.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. MAGIX Music Maker) could share the same mx_animated_gif_reader.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 mx_animated_gif_reader.dll is attempted to be loaded either when MAGIX Music Maker is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common mx_animated_gif_reader.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - mx_animated_gif_reader.dll.
- mx_animated_gif_reader.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\MAGIX\Music Maker\28\RegModule\mx_animated_gif_reader.dll.

- The file mx_animated_gif_reader.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because mx_animated_gif_reader.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your mx_animated_gif_reader.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with MAGIX Music Maker), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, mx_animated_gif_reader.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading MAGIX Music Maker, system crash while loading mx_animated_gif_reader.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.
