Ripper.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like Ripper.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. n-Track Studio) could share the same Ripper.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 Ripper.dll is attempted to be loaded either when n-Track Studio is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common Ripper.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - Ripper.dll.
- Ripper.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\nTrack\n-Track Studio 7\Ripper.dll.
- Cannot register Ripper.dll.
- Cannot start n-Track Studio. A required component is missing: Ripper.dll. Please install n-Track Studio again.
- Failed to load Ripper.dll.
- The application has failed to start because Ripper.dll was not found.
- The file Ripper.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because Ripper.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your Ripper.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with n-Track Studio), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, Ripper.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading n-Track Studio, system crash while loading Ripper.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.
