What are SwMenu.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library SwMenu.dll Errors

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

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

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying SwMenu.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Adobe Systems Incorporated typically does not release Adobe Shockwave Player DLL files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer.
