What are prism.exe Error Messages?


prism.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common prism.exe errors include:

  • prism.exe - Bad Image.
  • prism.exe Application Error.
  • prism.exe could not be found.
  • prism.exe could not be installed.
  • prism.exe could not be launched. Class not registered.

System Error


The program can’t start because prism.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 prism.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting prism.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Prism. 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programming on behalf of NCH Software, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware.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 prism.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.

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


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