What are Adobe_Helperx32.exe Error Messages?


Adobe_Helperx32.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Adobe Photoshop Lightroom errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when Adobe_Helperx32.exe is attempted to be loaded either when Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.

In most cases, Adobe_Helperx32.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these Adobe_Helperx32.exe error messages mean that Adobe Photoshop Lightroom was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common Adobe_Helperx32.exe errors include:

Finding the source of the Adobe_Helperx32.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting Adobe_Helperx32.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Adobe Setup. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Adobe Systems Incorporated, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of Adobe_Helperx32.exe errors can occur if it has been accidentally moved, deleted, or corrupted by a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
