What are NPSWF32.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library NPSWF32.dll Errors

NPSWF32.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like NPSWF32.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. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom) could share the same NPSWF32.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 NPSWF32.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common NPSWF32.dll errors include:

Your NPSWF32.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, NPSWF32.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, system crash while loading NPSWF32.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.
