uipl.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like uipl.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like choice.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. PhotoImpact) could share the same uipl.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 uipl.dll is attempted to be loaded either when PhotoImpact is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common uipl.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - uipl.dll.
- uipl.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Corel\PhotoImpact X3\uipl.dll.
- Cannot register uipl.dll.
- Cannot start PhotoImpact. A required component is missing: uipl.dll. Please install PhotoImpact again.
- Failed to load uipl.dll.
- The application has failed to start because uipl.dll was not found.
- The file uipl.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because uipl.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your uipl.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with PhotoImpact), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, uipl.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading PhotoImpact, system crash while loading uipl.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.
