What are Spuds_ZLib.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library Spuds_ZLib.dll Errors

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

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



How to Fix Spuds_ZLib.dll Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your Spuds_ZLib.dll issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the search results, find and click System Restore.
  4. Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
  5. Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the Spuds_ZLib.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many Spuds_ZLib.dll error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the Spuds_ZLib.dll error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.



If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your Spuds_ZLib.dll File (Caution: Advanced)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying Spuds_ZLib.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Digital Smoke typically does not release Solitaire City DLL files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing Spuds_ZLib.dll and all other DLL files for Solitaire City. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
