What are IMDW42.FLT Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library IMDW42.FLT Errors

IMDW42.FLT is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like IMDW42.FLT, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like MpSigStub.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. SmartDraw) could share the same IMDW42.FLT file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.

Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared FLT file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when IMDW42.FLT is attempted to be loaded either when SmartDraw is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common IMDW42.FLT errors include:

Your IMDW42.FLT file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with SmartDraw), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, IMDW42.FLT file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading SmartDraw, system crash while loading IMDW42.FLT, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying IMDW42.FLT to your appropriate Windows system directory. SmartDraw LLC typically does not release SmartDraw FLT 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 IMDW42.FLT and all other FLT files for SmartDraw. An incorrectly installed FLT file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
