What are about.htm Error Messages?


General about.htm Runtime Errors

about.htm file errors often occur during the startup phase of Sony PC Companion, but can also occur while the program is running. These types HTM errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Sony PC Companion is running. Here are some of the most common about.htm runtime errors:

Most HTM errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your about.htm file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Sony PC Companion), or deleted by a malware infection.

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

Download about.htm Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying about.htm to your appropriate Windows system directory. Sony Mobile Communications typically does not release Sony PC Companion HTM 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 about.htm and all other HTM files for Sony PC Companion. An incorrectly installed HTM file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
