What are sync_util.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library sync_util.dll Errors

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

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