What are atrc.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library atrc.dll Errors

atrc.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like atrc.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like ApplicationRegistration.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Sony Movie Studio 13) could share the same atrc.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 atrc.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Sony Movie Studio 13 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common atrc.dll errors include:

Your atrc.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Sony Movie Studio 13), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, atrc.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Sony Movie Studio 13, system crash while loading atrc.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.



How to Fix atrc.dll Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your atrc.dll issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".

  4. Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
  5. Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the atrc.dll error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.
