ClassicExplorer32.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like ClassicExplorer32.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. Classic Shell) could share the same ClassicExplorer32.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 ClassicExplorer32.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Classic Shell is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common ClassicExplorer32.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - ClassicExplorer32.dll.
- ClassicExplorer32.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\ClassicExplorer32.dll.
- Cannot register ClassicExplorer32.dll.
- Cannot start Classic Shell. A required component is missing: ClassicExplorer32.dll. Please install Classic Shell again.
- Failed to load ClassicExplorer32.dll.
- The application has failed to start because ClassicExplorer32.dll was not found.
- The file ClassicExplorer32.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because ClassicExplorer32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your ClassicExplorer32.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Classic Shell), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, ClassicExplorer32.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Classic Shell, system crash while loading ClassicExplorer32.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.
