What are extension.inf Error Messages?

extension.inf Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Errors

There are a number of reasons why you could be encountering issues with extension.inf. Most of the issues concerning inf files involve Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors. These types of extension.inf errors can be cause by hardware problems, outdated firmware, corrupt drivers, or other software-related (eg. Crimson Editor update) issues. Some of these errors include:

extension.inf could not be found.
extension.inf failed to load.
The file extension.inf is missing or corrupt.
Windows failed to start - extension.inf.

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. The problem seems to be caused by the following file: extension.inf.

:( Your PC ran into a problem that it couldn't handle, and now needs to restart. You can search for the error online: [BSOD] (extension.inf).

STOP 0x0000003B: SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION (extension.inf) STOP 0×0000007A: KERNEL DATA INPAGE (extension.inf) STOP 0x0000000A: IRQL NOT LESS EQUAL (extension.inf) STOP 0x0000007E: SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED (extension.inf) STOP 0x00000050: PAGE FAULT IN A NONPAGED AREA (extension.inf) STOP 0x0000001E: KMODE EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED (extension.inf)

It's Critical to Resolve Blue Screen of Death Errors

In the majority of cases, you will encounter extension.inf BSOD errors after you've installed new hardware, software (Crimson Editor), or performed a failed Windows Update. In other cases, software corruption caused by a malware infection can lead to extension.inf Blue Screen of Death errors. Therefore, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

GEEK TIP : As a rule of thumb, it's always a good idea to create a Windows "Snapshot" backup / System Restore Point before making any hardware or software changes to your computer. That way, it's very easy to restore your system in the unfortunate event you encounter a extension.inf Blue Screen of Death error after recent changes.

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

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your extension.inf issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

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

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the extension.inf error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many extension.inf error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

Hit the Windows Start button
In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)

After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the extension.inf error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.

If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your extension.inf File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate extension.inf file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free extension.inf files for every applicable version of Crimson Editor. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

Locate your Windows operating system version in the list of below "Download extension.inf Files".
Click the appropriate "Download Now" button and download your Windows file version.
Copy this file to the appropriate Crimson Editor folder location:

Download extension.inf Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

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