What are CmdBase2.dll Error Messages?

Dynamic Link Library CmdBase2.dll Errors

CmdBase2.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like CmdBase2.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. PaintShop Pro) could share the same CmdBase2.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 CmdBase2.dll is attempted to be loaded either when PaintShop Pro is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common CmdBase2.dll errors include:

Access Violation at address - CmdBase2.dll.
CmdBase2.dll could not be found.
Cannot find C:\Program Files\Corel\Corel PaintShop Pro 2020 (64-bit)\Commands\CmdBase2.dll.
Cannot register CmdBase2.dll.
Cannot start PaintShop Pro. A required component is missing: CmdBase2.dll. Please install PaintShop Pro again.
Failed to load CmdBase2.dll.
The application has failed to start because CmdBase2.dll was not found.
The file CmdBase2.dll is missing or corrupt.
This application failed to start because CmdBase2.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Your CmdBase2.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with PaintShop Pro), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, CmdBase2.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading PaintShop Pro, system crash while loading CmdBase2.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 CmdBase2.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 CmdBase2.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):

Hit the Windows Start button
When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
In the search results, find and click System Restore.
Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the CmdBase2.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed PaintShop Pro (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling PaintShop Pro software.

You can uninstall PaintShop Pro software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

Hit the Windows Start button
In the search box, type "Uninstall" and press "ENTER".
In the search results, find and click "Add or Remove Programs"
Find the entry for PaintShop Pro 2020 and click "Uninstall"

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many CmdBase2.dll error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

Hit the Windows Start button
In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the CmdBase2.dll error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.

If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your CmdBase2.dll File (Caution: Advanced)

We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free CmdBase2.dll files for every applicable version of PaintShop Pro. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

Download CmdBase2.dll Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying CmdBase2.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Corel typically does not release PaintShop Pro 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 CmdBase2.dll and all other DLL files for PaintShop Pro. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
