VFX Key Mapper.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like VFX Key Mapper.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like ControlCreator.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. FL Studio) could share the same VFX Key Mapper.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 VFX Key Mapper.dll is attempted to be loaded either when FL Studio is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common VFX Key Mapper.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - VFX Key Mapper.dll.
- VFX Key Mapper.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Image-Line\FL Studio 20\Plugins\Fruity\Effects\VFX Key Mapper\VFX Key Mapper.dll.
- Cannot register VFX Key Mapper.dll.
- Cannot start FL Studio. A required component is missing: VFX Key Mapper.dll. Please install FL Studio again.
- Failed to load VFX Key Mapper.dll.
- The application has failed to start because VFX Key Mapper.dll was not found.
- The file VFX Key Mapper.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because VFX Key Mapper.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your VFX Key Mapper.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with FL Studio), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, VFX Key Mapper.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading FL Studio, system crash while loading VFX Key Mapper.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.
