Default Type Styles.psp is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like Default Type Styles.psp, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like Setup.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Adobe Photoshop) could share the same Default Type Styles.psp 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 PSP 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 Default Type Styles.psp is attempted to be loaded either when Adobe Photoshop is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common Default Type Styles.psp errors include:
- Access Violation at address - Default Type Styles.psp.
- Default Type Styles.psp could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2019\Required\Default Type Styles.psp.
- Cannot register Default Type Styles.psp.
- Cannot start Adobe Photoshop. A required component is missing: Default Type Styles.psp. Please install Adobe Photoshop again.
- Failed to load Default Type Styles.psp.
- The application has failed to start because Default Type Styles.psp was not found.
- The file Default Type Styles.psp is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because Default Type Styles.psp was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your Default Type Styles.psp file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Adobe Photoshop), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, Default Type Styles.psp file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Adobe Photoshop, system crash while loading Default Type Styles.psp, 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.
