img_utils.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like img_utils.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. Cheetah CD Burner) could share the same img_utils.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 img_utils.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Cheetah CD Burner is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common img_utils.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - img_utils.dll.
- img_utils.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Windows\SysWOW64\img_utils.dll.
- Cannot register img_utils.dll.
- Cannot start Cheetah CD Burner. A required component is missing: img_utils.dll. Please install Cheetah CD Burner again.
- Failed to load img_utils.dll.
- The application has failed to start because img_utils.dll was not found.
- The file img_utils.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because img_utils.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your img_utils.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Cheetah CD Burner), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, img_utils.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Cheetah CD Burner, system crash while loading img_utils.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.
