How to Fix Runtime Error R6025

When a program that is running in the Microsoft Windows operating system ends suddenly, an error report is compiled by the operating system and then a specific error message is displayed on the screen to help the user troubleshoot the problem. If you have received the message that reads "Runtime error R6025 Pure Virtual Function Call," then the program you are using has been corrupted in some way and will need to be deleted and then re-installed.

Instructions

1. Close down the program entirely that threw the R6205 runtime error message. Press "Ctrl-Alt-Delete" and select "Start Task Manager."

2. Click the "Processes" tab and click on the "Image Name" column header. Scroll down through the list of programs and check to make sure the original program that gave the error message is not on the list. Click on the name of the program if it is in the list and choose "End Process."

3. Close the task manager window and click the Windows "Start" button. Select "Control Panel" and choose "Uninstall a Program" under the Programs section. Select from the list of currently installed programs the program that caused the error and click "Uninstall.

4. Click on the Windows "Start" button, type "cleanmgr" into the Search field and press "Enter." Click on "Files from all users" if it asks and select "Continue." Choose the drive where the program was installed, check the boxes next to "Temporary Internet Files," "Temporary Files," "Recycle Bin," "Downloaded Program Files" and "Setup Log Files." Click "OK" and select "Delete Files."

5. Wait for the program to finish cleaning the files on your hard drive. Re-start the computer. Insert the installation CD for the program you deleted earlier or go to the website of the manufacturer and download the program again. Install the program.

6. Open the software program by double-clicking on its desktop icon or clicking on the name of the program in the "Start" menu under All Programs. Attempt to use the program to make sure the runtime error message does not appear again.

Tips & Warnings

• If you continue to receive the runtime error message after deleting and re-installing the program there is likely a problem with the registry files on your computer. If this is the case you will either need to contact the program's customer support line for assistance or you can instead completely uninstall and then re-install your entire operating system to fix the issue.
