What are ctras.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library ctras.dll Errors

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

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

  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

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

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

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

  1. Hit the Windows Start button

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 ctras.dll error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  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".

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


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