Anyone have a solution to the runtime error?

There are several possible solutions that go with the cause of the error:

  1. Restart the computer. This is the likely solution if your computer suddenly feels like it's running much slower than usual.

    Some runtime errors are caused by memory-related issues, and restarting is the quickest way to close everything that's currently running on your PC. This will free up those previously used system resources for the program that's throwing the error.

  2. Update the program to its latest version. The runtime error might be caused by a bug that hasn't yet been patched in the release that you're using.***

    For example, some users report a runtime error when they use NVIDIA GeForce Experience to check for graphics card updates. In this scenario, you'd update the NVIDIA program.

    You might need to re-download it from the software maker's site if there isn't a built-in method for checking for updates.

    (This is a good time to also check for Windows updates.)

  3. Fully delete the program, and then reinstall it. An installation that doesn't quite finish properly can be the cause of the runtime error.

    The update procedure in the previous step might have done this, but if you're still getting the error, it's time to completely delete the program and confirm that it's being reinstalled from scratch.

    Some uninstallers don't do a great job at erasing every remnant of the file from the registry and hard drive. Try a dedicated program uninstaller if the normal tool from the app maker doesn't fix the error.

  4. Install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package. If your error says something about the runtime components of the Visual C++ libraries, this is likely solution.

  5. Use SFC scannow to repair corrupted Windows files. The SFC command is executed in a Command Prompt window, and might be the fix for the runtime error.

  6. Run System Restore to return your computer to a previous state. This could fix the runtime error is if it's caused by the Windows Registry being corrupt.

  7. Reinstall Windows. If focusing on a specific program didn't fix the runtime error, or if it's interfering with the way Windows works as a whole, resetting is your last option.


***The program hasn't been updated in years and the developer doesn't support it any more so this is unlikely to be the solution.
