What are ptdevcon64.exe Error Messages?

ptdevcon64.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are FxSound Enhancer errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when ptdevcon64.exe is attempted to be loaded either when FxSound Enhancer is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using FxSound Enhancer.

In most cases, ptdevcon64.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these ptdevcon64.exe error messages mean that FxSound Enhancer was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, FxSound Enhancer will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common ptdevcon64.exe errors include:

ptdevcon64.exe - Bad Image.

The program can’t start because ptdevcon64.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 ptdevcon64.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting ptdevcon64.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Windows (R) Win 7 DDK driver. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Windows (R) Win 7 DDK provider, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of ptdevcon64.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.
