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