What are introspect.dtd Error Messages?


General introspect.dtd Runtime Errors

introspect.dtd file errors often occur during the startup phase of GIMP, but can also occur while the program is running. These types DTD errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while GIMP is running. Here are some of the most common introspect.dtd runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\xml\dbus-1\introspect.dtd

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most DTD errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your introspect.dtd file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with GIMP), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, introspect.dtd file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading GIMP, system crash while loading or saving introspect.dtd, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or 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 introspect.dtd problems.

If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download introspect.dtd Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying introspect.dtd to your appropriate Windows system directory. The GIMP Development Team typically does not release GIMP DTD 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 introspect.dtd and all other DTD files for GIMP. An incorrectly installed DTD file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
