Isadora Rimbey
When trying to run perform an edit against a file trying to add a text element, Elements v 10 crashes telling me that "system32/amtlib.dll" is not a valid windows file or is currupt. I am suspecious of the recent "inspiration browser" install a couple of months ago. However that being said, Adobe's tech support is not helpful, I figured the best way fix this might be do do a clean install.
Errors related to amtlib.dll can arise for a few different different reasons. For instance, a faulty application, amtlib.dll has been deleted or misplaced, corrupted by malicious software present on your PC or a damaged Windows registry.
In the vast majority of cases, the solution is to properly reinstall amtlib.dll on your PC, to the Windows system folder. Alternatively, some programs, notably PC games, require that the DLL file is placed in the game/application installation folder.
amtlib.dll is considered a type of AMT Licensing file. It is most-commonly used in AMTLib developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated. It uses the DLL file extension and is considered a Win32 DLL (Dynamic link library) file.
amtlib.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like amtlib.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like klist.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Adobe Captivate) could share the same amtlib.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when amtlib.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Adobe Captivate is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common amtlib.dll errors include:
Your amtlib.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Adobe Captivate), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, amtlib.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Adobe Captivate, system crash while loading amtlib.dll, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your amtlib.dll issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.
When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many amtlib.dll error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:
If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate amtlib.dll file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free amtlib.dll files for every applicable version of Adobe Captivate. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:
GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve amtlib.dll 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.
CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying amtlib.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Adobe Systems Incorporated typically does not release Adobe Captivate DLL 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 amtlib.dll and all other DLL files for Adobe Captivate. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
