What are lame.exe Error Messages?

lame.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Finding the source of the lame.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting lame.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using VideoPad Video Editor 7.51. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of NCH Software, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of lame.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.
