What are mcl2ae.ax Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library mcl2ae.ax Errors

mcl2ae.ax is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like mcl2ae.ax, 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. DVD Slideshow Builder Deluxe) could share the same mcl2ae.ax 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 AX 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 mcl2ae.ax is attempted to be loaded either when DVD Slideshow Builder Deluxe is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common mcl2ae.ax errors include:

Your mcl2ae.ax file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with DVD Slideshow Builder Deluxe), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, mcl2ae.ax file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading DVD Slideshow Builder Deluxe, system crash while loading mcl2ae.ax, 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 mcl2ae.ax 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 mcl2ae.ax 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):

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

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the mcl2ae.ax error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed DVD Slideshow Builder Deluxe (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling DVD Slideshow Builder Deluxe 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 mcl2ae.ax error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

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

If Windows Update failed to resolve the mcl2ae.ax 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 mcl2ae.ax 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 mcl2ae.ax file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free mcl2ae.ax files for every applicable version of DVD Slideshow Builder Deluxe.

  3. Copy this file to the appropriate DVD Slideshow Builder Deluxe folder location:
    Windows 10: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying mcl2ae.ax to your appropriate Windows system directory. Wondershare Software Co., Ltd. typically does not release DVD Slideshow Builder Deluxe AX files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer.
