What are dfx12Setup.exe Error Messages?

dfx12Setup.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are DFX Audio Enhancer errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when dfx12Setup.exe is attempted to be loaded either when DFX Audio Enhancer is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using DFX Audio Enhancer.

In most cases, dfx12Setup.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these dfx12Setup.exe error messages mean that DFX Audio Enhancer was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, DFX Audio Enhancer will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common dfx12Setup.exe errors include:

dfx12Setup.exe - Bad Image.

Finding the source of the dfx12Setup.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting dfx12Setup.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using DFX. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Power Technology, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of dfx12Setup.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.
