What are Previews32.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library Previews32.dll Errors

Previews32.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like Previews32.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like OneDriveSetup.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. DeskScapes) could share the same Previews32.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 Previews32.dll is attempted to be loaded either when DeskScapes is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common Previews32.dll errors include:

Your Previews32.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with DeskScapes), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, Previews32.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading DeskScapes, system crash while loading Previews32.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.
