opencv_highgui220.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like opencv_highgui220.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like AM_Delta.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. ManyCam) could share the same opencv_highgui220.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 opencv_highgui220.dll is attempted to be loaded either when ManyCam is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common opencv_highgui220.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - opencv_highgui220.dll.
- opencv_highgui220.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\ManyCam\opencv_highgui220.dll.
- Cannot register opencv_highgui220.dll.
- Cannot start ManyCam. A required component is missing: opencv_highgui220.dll. Please install ManyCam again.
- Failed to load opencv_highgui220.dll.
- The application has failed to start because opencv_highgui220.dll was not found.
- The file opencv_highgui220.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because opencv_highgui220.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your opencv_highgui220.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with ManyCam), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, opencv_highgui220.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading ManyCam, system crash while loading opencv_highgui220.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.
