tphone32.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like tphone32.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like replace.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. XAMPP) could share the same tphone32.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 tphone32.dll is attempted to be loaded either when XAMPP is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common tphone32.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - tphone32.dll.
- tphone32.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\xampp\MercuryMail\tphone32.dll.
- Cannot register tphone32.dll.
- Cannot start XAMPP. A required component is missing: tphone32.dll. Please install XAMPP again.
- Failed to load tphone32.dll.
- The application has failed to start because tphone32.dll was not found.
- The file tphone32.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because tphone32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your tphone32.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with XAMPP), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, tphone32.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading XAMPP, system crash while loading tphone32.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.
