SkinControls.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like SkinControls.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 SkinControls.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 SkinControls.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 SkinControls.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - SkinControls.dll.
- SkinControls.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\AV Media Player Morpher\Media Player Morpher\video_effects\SkinControls.dll.
- Cannot register SkinControls.dll.
- Cannot start Media Player Morpher. A required component is missing: SkinControls.dll. Please install Media Player Morpher again.
- Failed to load SkinControls.dll.
- The application has failed to start because SkinControls.dll was not found.
- The file SkinControls.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because SkinControls.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your SkinControls.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, SkinControls.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Media Player Morpher, system crash while loading SkinControls.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.
