ACD_WORD_REPORTER.DLL is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like ACD_WORD_REPORTER.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. ACD/ChemSketch Freeware) could share the same ACD_WORD_REPORTER.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 ACD_WORD_REPORTER.DLL is attempted to be loaded either when ACD/ChemSketch Freeware is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common ACD_WORD_REPORTER.DLL errors include:
- Access Violation at address - ACD_WORD_REPORTER.DLL.
- ACD_WORD_REPORTER.DLL could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files\ACD2019FREE\SCRIPTS\REPORT\WORD_BY_TEMPLATE\ACD_WORD_REPORTER.DLL.
- Cannot register ACD_WORD_REPORTER.DLL.
- Cannot start ACD/ChemSketch Freeware. A required component is missing: ACD_WORD_REPORTER.DLL. Please install ACD/ChemSketch Freeware again.
- Failed to load ACD_WORD_REPORTER.DLL.
- The application has failed to start because ACD_WORD_REPORTER.DLL was not found.
- The file ACD_WORD_REPORTER.DLL is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because ACD_WORD_REPORTER.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your ACD_WORD_REPORTER.DLL file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with ACD/ChemSketch Freeware), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, ACD_WORD_REPORTER.DLL file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading ACD/ChemSketch Freeware, system crash while loading ACD_WORD_REPORTER.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.
