CoreFileFormatsRC.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like CoreFileFormatsRC.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like CrashReport.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. PaintShop Pro) could share the same CoreFileFormatsRC.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 CoreFileFormatsRC.dll is attempted to be loaded either when PaintShop Pro is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common CoreFileFormatsRC.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - CoreFileFormatsRC.dll.
- CoreFileFormatsRC.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files\Corel\Corel PaintShop Pro 2020 (64-bit)\Languages\EN\CoreFileFormatsRC.dll.
- Cannot register CoreFileFormatsRC.dll.
- Cannot start PaintShop Pro. A required component is missing: CoreFileFormatsRC.dll. Please install PaintShop Pro again.
- Failed to load CoreFileFormatsRC.dll.
- The application has failed to start because CoreFileFormatsRC.dll was not found.
- The file CoreFileFormatsRC.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because CoreFileFormatsRC.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your CoreFileFormatsRC.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, CoreFileFormatsRC.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading PaintShop Pro, system crash while loading CoreFileFormatsRC.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.
