What are CardInst.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library CardInst.dll Errors

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

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

Download CardInst.dll Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying CardInst.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Palm typically does not release Palm Desktop DLL 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 CardInst.dll and all other DLL files for Palm Desktop. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
