viscomgifenc.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like viscomgifenc.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like 7z.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Cheetah CD Burner) could share the same viscomgifenc.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 viscomgifenc.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Cheetah CD Burner is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common viscomgifenc.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - viscomgifenc.dll.
- viscomgifenc.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Windows\SysWOW64\viscomgifenc.dll.
- Cannot register viscomgifenc.dll.
- Cannot start Cheetah CD Burner. A required component is missing: viscomgifenc.dll. Please install Cheetah CD Burner again.
- Failed to load viscomgifenc.dll.
- The application has failed to start because viscomgifenc.dll was not found.
- The file viscomgifenc.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because viscomgifenc.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your viscomgifenc.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Cheetah CD Burner), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, viscomgifenc.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Cheetah CD Burner, system crash while loading viscomgifenc.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.
