What are photorec_win.exe Error Messages?


photorec_win.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common photorec_win.exe errors include:

  • photorec_win.exe - Bad Image.
  • photorec_win.exe Application Error.
  • photorec_win.exe could not be found.

Finding the source of the photorec_win.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors.

This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of CGSecurity, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of photorec_win.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.
