What are Media_db.db Error Messages?


General Media_db.db Runtime Errors

Media_db.db file errors often occur during the startup phase of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, but can also occur while the program is running. These types DB errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is running. Here are some of the most common Media_db.db runtime errors:

Most DB errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your Media_db.db file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, Media_db.db file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, system crash while loading or saving Media_db.db, 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 Media_db.db problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download Media_db.db Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying Media_db.db to your appropriate Windows system directory. Adobe Systems Incorporated typically does not release Adobe Photoshop Lightroom DB 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 Media_db.db and all other DB files for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. An incorrectly installed DB file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
