WINASPI.DLL is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like WINASPI.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. Intelliscore Polyphonic WAV to MIDI Converter) could share the same WINASPI.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 WINASPI.DLL is attempted to be loaded either when Intelliscore Polyphonic WAV to MIDI Converter is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common WINASPI.DLL errors include:
- Access Violation at address - WINASPI.DLL.
- WINASPI.DLL could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Windows\SysWOW64\aspi\WINASPI.DLL.
- Cannot register WINASPI.DLL.
- Cannot start Intelliscore Polyphonic WAV to MIDI Converter. A required component is missing: WINASPI.DLL. Please install Intelliscore Polyphonic WAV to MIDI Converter again.
- Failed to load WINASPI.DLL.
- The application has failed to start because WINASPI.DLL was not found.
- The file WINASPI.DLL is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because WINASPI.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your WINASPI.DLL file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Intelliscore Polyphonic WAV to MIDI Converter), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, WINASPI.DLL file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Intelliscore Polyphonic WAV to MIDI Converter, system crash while loading WINASPI.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.
