What are ELEMPHOTOS.DAT Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library ELEMPHOTOS.DAT Errors

ELEMPHOTOS.DAT is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like ELEMPHOTOS.DAT, 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. ACD/ChemSketch Freeware) could share the same ELEMPHOTOS.DAT 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 DAT 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 ELEMPHOTOS.DAT is attempted to be loaded either when ACD/ChemSketch Freeware is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common ELEMPHOTOS.DAT errors include:

Your ELEMPHOTOS.DAT file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with ACD/ChemSketch Freeware), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, ELEMPHOTOS.DAT file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading ACD/ChemSketch Freeware, system crash while loading ELEMPHOTOS.DAT, 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.



How to Fix ELEMPHOTOS.DAT Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your ELEMPHOTOS.DAT issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button

  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the ELEMPHOTOS.DAT error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed ACD/ChemSketch Freeware (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling ACD/ChemSketch Freeware software.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many ELEMPHOTOS.DAT error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the ELEMPHOTOS.DAT error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.



If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your ELEMPHOTOS.DAT File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate ELEMPHOTOS.DAT file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free ELEMPHOTOS.DAT files for every applicable version of ACD/ChemSketch Freeware.

    Windows 10: C:\Program Files\ACD2019FREE\

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve ELEMPHOTOS.DAT problems.

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying ELEMPHOTOS.DAT to your appropriate Windows system directory. Advanced Chemistry Development typically does not release ACD/ChemSketch Freeware DAT 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 ELEMPHOTOS.DAT and all other DAT files for ACD/ChemSketch Freeware. An incorrectly installed DAT file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
