Run-time errors are caused by diverse software and hardware issues in your computer. A common error occurs when you're using MS Internet Explorer (IE) and the website you're viewing loads a lot of information. IE runs script debugging and freezes the loading process. Other run-time errors occur when you have program conflicts or viruses, or when your computer hardware runs out of memory. This article provides the workaround for preventing IE run-time errors from transpiring, plus basic steps on how to resolve common run-time errors such as software conflicts and hardware problems. You should purchase a reliable anti-virus software for eliminating run-time errors due to viruses.

Instructions

  1. Fixing a Computer with Run-time Error

    • 1
      Internet Options menu

      Open Internet Explorer, click the"Tools" menu, and then select "Internet Options." Then choose the "Advanced" tab.

    • 2

      Make sure the following options are marked: "Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)" and "Disable Script Debugging (Other)." Click the boxes to mark the options if they are unmarked.

    • 3

      Check if this option is unmarked: "Disable a Notification about every script error." Click the box to unmark the option if it is marked.

    • 4

      Click "OK" and close Internet Explorer. Then reopen it to implement the changes.

    For Other Applications

    • 5

      Close the run-time error message and the program or application that displayed the message. If the problematic application does not close, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to open the "Task Manager" window, select the application and then click "End Task."

    • 6

      Reopen the problem application and check for updates or patches. If the run-time error recurs, try uninstalling the program and reinstalling it, and then download all the updates before you use it.

    • 7

      Consult a computer hardware technician if your run-time errors are memory-related. You may need to upgrade your computer if it is too slow to keep up with your software, or you may need to reformat your computer if viruses have affected your PC to a point of no return.

    • 8

      Check if you installed add-ons or plug-ins to your application, and determine if the run-time errors occurred before or after the installations. If the run-time errors came up after you installed the plug-ins, try removing them, restart your computer and then use your application again to see if the run-time errors recur.

Tips & Warnings

  • Clean up your registry with a commercial registry cleaner application. This ensures your system isn't clogged with unused registry files after you uninstall programs.

  • Back up your files on a regular basis (and on a separate media, not on your own hard drive). This ensures you have copies of your work if you encounter problems with your computer. Make sure you make your backups only after you determine your system is free of viruses and trojans.

  • Update your anti-virus signature files every week. New viruses and their variants come up regularly.
