What are dao360.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library dao360.dll Errors

dao360.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like dao360.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. Pos Free Photo Editor) could share the same dao360.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 dao360.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Pos Free Photo Editor is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common dao360.dll errors include:

Your dao360.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Pos Free Photo Editor), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, dao360.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Pos Free Photo Editor, system crash while loading dao360.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 dao360.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 dao360.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".
  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 dao360.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Pos Free Photo Editor (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Pos Free Photo Editor 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 dao360.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 dao360.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 dao360.dll File (Caution: Advanced)

    Windows 10: C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\DAO\
  4. Restart your computer.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve dao360.dll problems.

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