What are SHOW3D.EXE Error Messages?


SHOW3D.EXE Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are ACD/ChemSketch Freeware errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when SHOW3D.EXE is attempted to be loaded either when ACD/ChemSketch Freeware is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using ACD/ChemSketch Freeware.

In most cases, SHOW3D.EXE runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these SHOW3D.EXE error messages mean that ACD/ChemSketch Freeware was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, ACD/ChemSketch Freeware will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common SHOW3D.EXE errors include:

  • SHOW3D.EXE - Bad Image.
  • SHOW3D.EXE Application Error.
  • SHOW3D.EXE could not be found.
  • SHOW3D.EXE could not be installed.
  • SHOW3D.EXE could not be launched. Class not registered.
  • SHOW3D.EXE could not be started.

System Error


The program can’t start because SHOW3D.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 SHOW3D.EXE error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting SHOW3D.EXE will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using ACD/3D Viewer 2019 FREEWARE. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Advanced Chemistry Development Inc., conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of SHOW3D.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.

If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your SHOW3D.EXE File (Caution: Advanced)

Download SHOW3D.EXE Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying SHOW3D.EXE to your appropriate Windows system directory. Advanced Chemistry Development typically does not release ACD/ChemSketch Freeware 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 SHOW3D.EXE and all other EXE files for ACD/ChemSketch Freeware. An incorrectly installed EXE file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
