What are DriverBooster.exe Error Messages?


DriverBooster.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common DriverBooster.exe errors include:

  • DriverBooster.exe - Bad Image.
  • DriverBooster.exe Application Error.
  • DriverBooster.exe could not be found.
  • DriverBooster.exe could not be installed.
  • DriverBooster.exe could not be launched. Class not registered.
  • DriverBooster.exe could not be started.
  • DriverBooster.exe failed to initialize properly.
  • DriverBooster.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
  • DriverBooster.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
  • DriverBooster.exe is not running.
  • Cannot find DriverBooster.exe.
  • Error starting program: DriverBooster.exe.
  • Faulting Application Path: DriverBooster.exe.
  • The file DriverBooster.exe is missing or corrupt.
  • Windows failed to start - DriverBooster.exe.
System Error


The program can’t start because DriverBooster.exe is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

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to poor programming on behalf of IObit, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware.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



How to Fix DriverBooster.exe 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 DriverBooster.exe 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):

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 DriverBooster.exe error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)

Download DriverBooster.exe Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying DriverBooster.exe to your appropriate Windows system directory. IObit typically does not release Driver Booster EXE 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 DriverBooster.exe and all other EXE files for Driver Booster. An incorrectly installed EXE file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
