ta_gsmrf_lib.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like ta_gsmrf_lib.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. Nokia Software Updater) could share the same ta_gsmrf_lib.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 ta_gsmrf_lib.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Nokia Software Updater is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common ta_gsmrf_lib.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - ta_gsmrf_lib.dll.
- ta_gsmrf_lib.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Nokia\Tss\Product API Libraries\ta_gsmrf_lib.dll.
- Cannot register ta_gsmrf_lib.dll.
- Cannot start Nokia Software Updater. A required component is missing: ta_gsmrf_lib.dll. Please install Nokia Software Updater again.
- Failed to load ta_gsmrf_lib.dll.
- The application has failed to start because ta_gsmrf_lib.dll was not found.
- The file ta_gsmrf_lib.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because ta_gsmrf_lib.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your ta_gsmrf_lib.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Nokia Software Updater), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, ta_gsmrf_lib.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Nokia Software Updater, system crash while loading ta_gsmrf_lib.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.
