What are prime95.exe Error Messages?


prime95.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Prime95 64-bit errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when prime95.exe is attempted to be loaded either when Prime95 64-bit is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using Prime95 64-bit.

In most cases, prime95.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these prime95.exe error messages mean that Prime95 64-bit was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Prime95 64-bit will be unable to start without resolving these errors.
