amipro.sam is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like amipro.sam, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like sapisvr.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Windows) could share the same amipro.sam 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 SAM 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 amipro.sam is attempted to be loaded either when Windows is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common amipro.sam errors include:
- Access Violation at address - amipro.sam.
- amipro.sam could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Documents and Settings\Bill\Templates\amipro.sam.
- Cannot register amipro.sam.
- Cannot start Windows. A required component is missing: amipro.sam. Please install Windows again.
- Failed to load amipro.sam.
- The application has failed to start because amipro.sam was not found.
- The file amipro.sam is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because amipro.sam was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your amipro.sam 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, amipro.sam file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Windows, system crash while loading amipro.sam, 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.
