VCam_VBFilter.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like VCam_VBFilter.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. Fake Webcam) could share the same VCam_VBFilter.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 VCam_VBFilter.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Fake Webcam is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common VCam_VBFilter.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - VCam_VBFilter.dll.
- VCam_VBFilter.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Fake Webcam 7.4\7.4.0.0\VCam_VBFilter.dll.
- Cannot register VCam_VBFilter.dll.
- Cannot start Fake Webcam. A required component is missing: VCam_VBFilter.dll. Please install Fake Webcam again.
- Failed to load VCam_VBFilter.dll.
- The application has failed to start because VCam_VBFilter.dll was not found.
- The file VCam_VBFilter.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because VCam_VBFilter.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your VCam_VBFilter.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Fake Webcam), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, VCam_VBFilter.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Fake Webcam, system crash while loading VCam_VBFilter.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.
