idm_tidylib.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like idm_tidylib.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like sort.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. UltraEdit) could share the same idm_tidylib.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 idm_tidylib.dll is attempted to be loaded either when UltraEdit is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common idm_tidylib.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - idm_tidylib.dll.
- idm_tidylib.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraEdit\idm_tidylib.dll.
- Cannot register idm_tidylib.dll.
- Cannot start UltraEdit. A required component is missing: idm_tidylib.dll. Please install UltraEdit again.
- Failed to load idm_tidylib.dll.
- The application has failed to start because idm_tidylib.dll was not found.
- The file idm_tidylib.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because idm_tidylib.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your idm_tidylib.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with UltraEdit), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, idm_tidylib.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading UltraEdit, system crash while loading idm_tidylib.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.
