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

  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".

Download LiveComm.etl Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


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