What are epatent.dll Error Messages?

Dynamic Link Library epatent.dll Errors

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

Access Violation at address - epatent.dll.
epatent.dll could not be found.
Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\GIRDAC PDF to Word Converter Pro\epatent.dll.
Cannot register epatent.dll.
Cannot start PDF to Word Converter Pro. A required component is missing: epatent.dll. Please install PDF to Word Converter Pro again.
Failed to load epatent.dll.
The application has failed to start because epatent.dll was not found.
The file epatent.dll is missing or corrupt.
This application failed to start because epatent.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Your epatent.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with PDF to Word Converter Pro), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, epatent.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading PDF to Word Converter Pro, system crash while loading epatent.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 epatent.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 epatent.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 epatent.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed PDF to Word Converter Pro (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling PDF to Word Converter Pro software.

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 epatent.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 epatent.dll error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.

Windows 10: C:\Program Files (x86)\GIRDAC PDF to Word Converter Pro\
