What are PCM.db Error Messages?

General PCM.db Runtime Errors

PCM.db file errors often occur during the startup phase of CyberLink Media Suite, but can also occur while the program is running. These types DB errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while CyberLink Media Suite is running. Here are some of the most common PCM.db runtime errors:

PCM.db could not be found.
PCM.db error.
PCM.db failed to load.
Error loading PCM.db.
Failed to register PCM.db / Cannot register PCM.db.
Runtime Error - PCM.db.

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\MediaShow6\subsys\MovieEdit\Style\Merge\PCM.db

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Most DB errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your PCM.db file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with CyberLink Media Suite), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, PCM.db file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading CyberLink Media Suite, system crash while loading or saving PCM.db, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Download PCM.db Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying PCM.db to your appropriate Windows system directory. CyberLink typically does not release CyberLink Media Suite DB files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing PCM.db and all other DB files for CyberLink Media Suite. An incorrectly installed DB file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
