What are 3DSetup.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library 3DSetup.dll Errors

3DSetup.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like 3DSetup.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like Setup.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. FIFA 2001) could share the same 3DSetup.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 3DSetup.dll is attempted to be loaded either when FIFA 2001 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common 3DSetup.dll errors include:

Your 3DSetup.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with FIFA 2001), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, 3DSetup.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading FIFA 2001, system crash while loading 3DSetup.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 3DSetup.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 3DSetup.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):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".

  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the 3DSetup.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed FIFA 2001 (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling FIFA 2001 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 3DSetup.dll 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 3DSetup.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 3DSetup.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 3DSetup.dll file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free 3DSetup.dll files for every applicable version of FIFA 2001. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

  3. Copy this file to the appropriate FIFA 2001 folder location:
    Windows 10: C:\Program Files (x86)\EA SPORTS\FIFA 2001 Demo\3DSetup\
  4. Restart your computer.

If this final step has failed and you're still encountering the error, you're only remaining option is to do a clean installation of Windows 10.


GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve 3DSetup.dll problems.

If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download 3DSetup.dll Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying 3DSetup.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Electronic Arts typically does not release FIFA 2001 DLL files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing 3DSetup.dll and all other DLL files for FIFA 2001. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
