Xvidcore.dll is a file used by the "Xvid Codec" software to play Xvid movies on your PC. This file is used extensively by the popular Xvid codec to help your computer play movies in extremely high quality. Since Xvid is one of the most popular types of movie-formats on the Internet (due to its high quality and low size), many people try and play Xvid movies each day. However, "Xvidcore.dll not found" and "Xvidcore.dll Is Missing" errors are extremely common and here's how to fix them.
The fact is that in most instances, this file is not actually damaged or missing at all - it's likely a problem with Windows that's causing the error. The way to fix the error is to first update / reinstall the XVid codec on your PC. This codec is freely available on the Internet from a variety of websites, and is also continually being updated to help protect against any potential errors that it may cause. You can update the codec by downloading a new version of it from the Internet and then installing it on your system. If that doesn't resolve the error, remove the codec from your PC and then install a fresh copy.
After that, it's recommended you then perform a "registry scan" on your PC, with a registry cleaner tool. Registry scans focus around cleaning out the "Registry Database" - a central storage facility for all the files and settings which Windows uses to keep the likes of your desktop wallpaper and most recent emails. The registry is a central location for all the settings your PC requires to run, allowing it to load up all the files and settings it requires. The only problem is that it can quickly become corrupted and damaged - leading your PC to run much slower and with a lot of errors. To fix this problem, you should use a registry cleaner tool to fix the errors that Windows might have inside, which will not only boost the speed of your PC, but will also likely fix the xvidcore.dll error it has as well.
