What are vp8vfw.dll Error Messages?

Dynamic Link Library vp8vfw.dll Errors

vp8vfw.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like vp8vfw.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like MpSigStub.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Aurora 3D Animation Maker) could share the same vp8vfw.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 vp8vfw.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Aurora 3D Animation Maker is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common vp8vfw.dll errors include:

Access Violation at address - vp8vfw.dll.
vp8vfw.dll could not be found.
Cannot find C:\Windows\SysWOW64\vp8vfw.dll.
Cannot register vp8vfw.dll.
Cannot start Aurora 3D Animation Maker. A required component is missing: vp8vfw.dll. Please install Aurora 3D Animation Maker again.
Failed to load vp8vfw.dll.
The application has failed to start because vp8vfw.dll was not found.
The file vp8vfw.dll is missing or corrupt.
This application failed to start because vp8vfw.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Your vp8vfw.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Aurora 3D Animation Maker), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, vp8vfw.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Aurora 3D Animation Maker, system crash while loading vp8vfw.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.

How to Fix vp8vfw.dll Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your vp8vfw.dll issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

Hit the Windows Start button
When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
In the search results, find and click System Restore.
Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the vp8vfw.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Aurora 3D Animation Maker (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Aurora 3D Animation Maker software.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many vp8vfw.dll error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

Hit the Windows Start button
In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the vp8vfw.dll error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.

If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your vp8vfw.dll File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate vp8vfw.dll file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free vp8vfw.dll files for every applicable version of Aurora 3D Animation Maker.

Windows 10: C:\KMPlayer\
Windows 10: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\
