What are PotScreenSaver.scr Error Messages?

PotScreenSaver.scr Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are PotPlayer (32-bit) errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these SCR errors are triggered when PotScreenSaver.scr is attempted to be loaded either when PotPlayer (32-bit) is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of SCR error you will encounter using PotPlayer (32-bit).

In most cases, PotScreenSaver.scr runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these PotScreenSaver.scr error messages mean that PotPlayer (32-bit) was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, PotPlayer (32-bit) will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common PotScreenSaver.scr errors include:

PotScreenSaver.scr - Bad Image.
PotScreenSaver.scr Application Error.
PotScreenSaver.scr could not be found.
PotScreenSaver.scr could not be installed.
PotScreenSaver.scr could not be launched. Class not registered.

System Error

The program can’t start because PotScreenSaver.scr is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Finding the source of the PotScreenSaver.scr error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these SCR errors affecting PotScreenSaver.scr will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using PotPlayer (32-bit) 1.7.20977. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Daum Communications, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of PotScreenSaver.scr errors can occur if it has been accidentally moved, deleted, or corrupted by a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
