General EP0NGP8W.GPD Runtime Errors

EP0NGP8W.GPD file errors often occur during the startup phase of Windows, but can also occur while the program is running. These types GPD errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Windows is running. Here are some of the most common EP0NGP8W.GPD runtime errors:

Most GPD errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your EP0NGP8W.GPD file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Windows), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, EP0NGP8W.GPD file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Windows, system crash while loading or saving EP0NGP8W.GPD, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.



How to Fix EP0NGP8W.GPD Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the search results, find and click System Restore.
  4. Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
  5. Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the EP0NGP8W.GPD error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: Run SFC (System File Checker) to restore the corrupt or missing EP0NGP8W.GPD file.

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying EP0NGP8W.GPD to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Windows GPD 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 EP0NGP8W.GPD and all other GPD files for Windows. An incorrectly installed GPD file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
