cygpng12.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like cygpng12.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like mighost.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Aura Free Video Converter) could share the same cygpng12.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 cygpng12.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Aura Free Video Converter is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common cygpng12.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - cygpng12.dll.
- cygpng12.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Aura4You\Aura Video Converter\gnu\cygpng12.dll.
- Cannot register cygpng12.dll.
- Cannot start Aura Free Video Converter. A required component is missing: cygpng12.dll. Please install Aura Free Video Converter again.
- Failed to load cygpng12.dll.
- The application has failed to start because cygpng12.dll was not found.
- The file cygpng12.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because cygpng12.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your cygpng12.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Aura Free Video Converter), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, cygpng12.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Aura Free Video Converter, system crash while loading cygpng12.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.
