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