What are rmwrtr.dll Error Messages?

Dynamic Link Library rmwrtr.dll Errors

rmwrtr.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like rmwrtr.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. Sony Movie Studio 13) could share the same rmwrtr.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 rmwrtr.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Sony Movie Studio 13 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common rmwrtr.dll errors include:

Access Violation at address - rmwrtr.dll.
rmwrtr.dll could not be found.
Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\Movie Studio 13.0\FileIO Plug-Ins\rm9plug\plugins\rmwrtr.dll.
Cannot register rmwrtr.dll.
Cannot start Sony Movie Studio 13. A required component is missing: rmwrtr.dll. Please install Sony Movie Studio 13 again.
Failed to load rmwrtr.dll.
The application has failed to start because rmwrtr.dll was not found.
The file rmwrtr.dll is missing or corrupt.
This application failed to start because rmwrtr.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Your rmwrtr.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Sony Movie Studio 13), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, rmwrtr.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Sony Movie Studio 13, system crash while loading rmwrtr.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 rmwrtr.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 rmwrtr.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 rmwrtr.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Sony Movie Studio 13 (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Sony Movie Studio 13 software.

You can uninstall Sony Movie Studio 13 software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

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 rmwrtr.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 rmwrtr.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\ACID\ACID Music Studio 11.0\FileIO Plug-Ins\rm9plug\plugins\
Restart your computer.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve rmwrtr.dll problems.

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

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying rmwrtr.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Sony Creative Software typically does not release Sony Movie Studio 13 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 rmwrtr.dll and all other DLL files for Sony Movie Studio 13.
