What are DeskScapes.scr Error Messages?


DeskScapes.scr Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common DeskScapes.scr errors include:

Finding the source of the DeskScapes.scr error is key to properly resolving these errors.

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying DeskScapes.scr to your appropriate Windows system directory. Stardock Corporation typically does not release DeskScapes SCR files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer.
