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