How to Fix a Computer With a Runtime Error
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.

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.
