What are widgetsus.exe Error Messages?

widgetsus.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common widgetsus.exe errors include:

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

Error starting program: widgetsus.exe.
Faulting Application Path: widgetsus.exe.

System Error

The program can’t start because widgetsus.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 widgetsus.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting widgetsus.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Yahoo! Widgets 4.5.2. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Yahoo! Inc., conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of widgetsus.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.
