jetUpdate.dat is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like jetUpdate.dat, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like FileCoAuth.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. JetVideo Basic VX) could share the same jetUpdate.dat 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 DAT 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 jetUpdate.dat is attempted to be loaded either when JetVideo Basic VX is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common jetUpdate.dat errors include:
- Access Violation at address - jetUpdate.dat.
- jetUpdate.dat could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\JetAudio\jetUpdate.dat.
- Cannot register jetUpdate.dat.
- Cannot start JetVideo Basic VX. A required component is missing: jetUpdate.dat. Please install JetVideo Basic VX again.
- Failed to load jetUpdate.dat.
- The application has failed to start because jetUpdate.dat was not found.
- The file jetUpdate.dat is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because jetUpdate.dat was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your jetUpdate.dat file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with JetVideo Basic VX), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, jetUpdate.dat file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading JetVideo Basic VX, system crash while loading jetUpdate.dat, 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.
