Question Recently I've been getting a popup box that says there has been a runtime error and windows will now close. What is a runtime error? Here is what appears in the box
Microsoft Visual C + + Runtime Library
Runtime error
Program: C:/Program files (x86)/InternetExplorer/iexplore.exe
Thank you
Answer Hi Ysa,
If you have any of these installed:
* Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition
* Microsoft Windows 98 Standard Edition
* Microsoft Office XP Professional Edition
* Microsoft Office XP Small Business Edition
* Microsoft Office XP Standard Edition
* Microsoft Office XP Students and Teachers
* Microsoft Office XP Developer Edition
* Microsoft Access 2002 Standard Edition
* Microsoft Excel 2002 Standard Edition
* Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Standard Edition
* Microsoft Outlook 2002 Standard Edition
* Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 Standard Edition
* Microsoft Word 2002 Standard Edition
A runtime is an error that occurs during the execution of a program. In contrast, compile-time errors occur while a program is being compiled. Runtime errors indicate bugs in the program or problems that the designers had anticipated but could do nothing about. For example, running out of memory will often cause a runtime error.
