How to Correct a Runtime Error

Runtime errors occur while you are using the Windows Internet Explorer Web browsing application. These errors usually happen because of a conflict between the script on a Web page and the Web browser, which is attempting to load the Web page. You are notified of the runtime error through message prompts. The Web developer is the only one who can fix the Web page script, but you can alter Internet Explorer so it can continue to load and run the Web page.
