p40b.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like p40b.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like dpnsvr.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. WarBirds demo (full install)) could share the same p40b.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 p40b.dll is attempted to be loaded either when WarBirds demo (full install) is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common p40b.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - p40b.dll.
- p40b.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\iEntertainment Network\Warbirds\Sounds\p40b.dll.
- Cannot register p40b.dll.
- Cannot start WarBirds demo (full install). A required component is missing: p40b.dll. Please install WarBirds demo (full install) again.
- Failed to load p40b.dll.
- The application has failed to start because p40b.dll was not found.
- The file p40b.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because p40b.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your p40b.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with WarBirds demo (full install)), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, p40b.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading WarBirds demo (full install), system crash while loading p40b.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.
