What are WMM2FXA.dll Error Messages?

Dynamic Link Library WMM2FXA.dll Errors

WMM2FXA.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like WMM2FXA.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like MOVIEMK.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Windows Movie Maker (Windows Vista)) could share the same WMM2FXA.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 WMM2FXA.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Windows Movie Maker (Windows Vista) is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common WMM2FXA.dll errors include:

Access Violation at address - WMM2FXA.dll.
WMM2FXA.dll could not be found.
Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Movie Maker 2.6\WMM2FXA.dll.
Cannot register WMM2FXA.dll.
Cannot start Windows Movie Maker (Windows Vista). A required component is missing: WMM2FXA.dll. Please install Windows Movie Maker (Windows Vista) again.
Failed to load WMM2FXA.dll.
The application has failed to start because WMM2FXA.dll was not found.
The file WMM2FXA.dll is missing or corrupt.
This application failed to start because WMM2FXA.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Your WMM2FXA.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Windows Movie Maker (Windows Vista)), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, WMM2FXA.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Windows Movie Maker (Windows Vista), system crash while loading WMM2FXA.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 WMM2FXA.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 WMM2FXA.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.

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 WMM2FXA.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Windows Movie Maker (Windows Vista) (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Windows Movie Maker (Windows Vista) 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 WMM2FXA.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 WMM2FXA.dll error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.

Download WMM2FXA.dll Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying WMM2FXA.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory.
