What are Sony.MediaSoftware.DeviceExp.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library Sony.MediaSoftware.DeviceExp.dll Errors

Sony.MediaSoftware.DeviceExp.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like Sony.MediaSoftware.DeviceExp.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. Sony Movie Studio 13) could share the same Sony.MediaSoftware.DeviceExp.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 Sony.MediaSoftware.DeviceExp.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Sony Movie Studio 13 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common Sony.MediaSoftware.DeviceExp.dll errors include:

Your Sony.MediaSoftware.DeviceExp.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Sony Movie Studio 13), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, Sony.MediaSoftware.DeviceExp.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Sony Movie Studio 13, system crash while loading Sony.MediaSoftware.DeviceExp.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.
