What are 1042.mst Error Messages?


1042.mst Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Samsung Kies errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these MST errors are triggered when 1042.mst is attempted to be loaded either when Samsung Kies is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of MST error you will encounter using Samsung Kies.

In most cases, 1042.mst runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these 1042.mst error messages mean that Samsung Kies was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Samsung Kies will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common 1042.mst errors include:

  • 1042.mst - Bad Image.
  • 1042.mst Application Error.
  • 1042.mst could not be found.
  • 1042.mst could not be installed.
  • 1042.mst could not be launched. Class not registered.
  • 1042.mst could not be started.
  • 1042.mst failed to initialize properly.

System Error


The program can’t start because 1042.mst 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 1042.mst error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these MST errors affecting 1042.mst will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Samsung Kies 2.6.1.13105. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Samsung Electronics, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of 1042.mst 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.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve 1042.mst problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download 1042.mst Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying 1042.mst to your appropriate Windows system directory. Samsung Electronics typically does not release Samsung Kies MST 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 1042.mst and all other MST files for Samsung Kies. An incorrectly installed MST file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
