Strange DLL Errors and What They May Mean
Written by Ruhani Rabin on June 12, 2008.
When working on your Windows computer, you may come across several strange DLL errors that may leave you baffled. Some examples of DLL errors that you may encounter are listed below:
“rundll32.exe - Unable To Locate Component
This application has failed to start because framedyn.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.”
“IEXPLORE caused an invalid page fault in SHELL32.DLL”
“This application has failed to start because Msvcp71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.”
“Msvcp71.dll is a bad windows image. Please check against your installation diskette.”
There are many causes of DLL errors such as these. Missing DLL files, such as the missing framedyn.dll, shell32.dll and msvcp71.dll errors given above are one of the most common DLL errors. These errors usually occur when one or more required files are either overwritten by older or incompatible versions or the existing files get damaged due to certain hardware problems or malware infections.
