What are HpqPSApl.exe Error Messages?


HpqPSApl.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common HpqPSApl.exe errors include:

  • HpqPSApl.exe - Bad Image.

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programming on behalf of Hewlett-Packard, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware.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