What are WLXPGSS.SCR Error Messages?


WLXPGSS.SCR Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Windows Live Essentials 2012 errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these SCR errors are triggered when WLXPGSS.SCR is attempted to be loaded either when Windows Live Essentials 2012 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of SCR error you will encounter using Windows Live Essentials 2012.

In most cases, WLXPGSS.SCR runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these WLXPGSS.SCR error messages mean that Windows Live Essentials 2012 was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Windows Live Essentials 2012 will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common WLXPGSS.SCR errors include:

  • WLXPGSS.SCR - Bad Image.
  • WLXPGSS.SCR Application Error.
  • WLXPGSS.SCR could not be found.
  • WLXPGSS.SCR could not be installed.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Finding the source of the WLXPGSS.SCR error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these SCR errors affecting WLXPGSS.SCR will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Photo Gallery. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Microsoft Corporation, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of WLXPGSS.SCR 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.

Download WLXPGSS.SCR Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying WLXPGSS.SCR to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Windows Live Essentials 2012 SCR 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 WLXPGSS.SCR and all other SCR files for Windows Live Essentials 2012. An incorrectly installed SCR file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
