1. A method, comprising: detecting a call from an application to a dynamic link library (DLL) file, wherein the called DLL file is out-of-date and is different from a DLL file expected by the application; comparing the called DLL file with a list of DLL files stored in a database by comparing information associated with the called DLL file, the information including at least one attribute comprising at least a version number and a manufacturer of the called DLL file, to information stored in the database comprising the list of DLL files, wherein the database is separate from the called DLL file; based on the comparing, determining whether the at least one attribute of the called DLL file matches at least one attribute of at least one DLL file from the list of DLL files in the database; when the at least one attribute of the called DLL file matches the at least one attribute of the at least one DLL file listed in the database, utilizing at least one compatibility mode associated with the at least one DLL file listed in the database to properly execute the called DLL file by the application, wherein the at least one compatibility mode provides at least one instruction to a processor as to how to execute the called DLL file, the at least one instruction causes allocation of additional memory when the called DLL file allocates memory; and when the at least one attribute of the called DLL file does not match the at least one attribute of the at least one DLL file listed in the database, causing the processor to exclude execution of the called DLL file.
