How to Fix a GTA Runtime Error

Grand Theft Auto, or GTA, is a controversial video game series originally released in 1997. Since that time, it has grown in popularity, with more than 10 sequels and original titles filling the series roster today. Nearly every entry in the series has been ported to the PC at some point, and while the games receive high critical acclaim, the PC versions are often quite buggy with a tendency to crash often. One of the most common errors when running a GTA game is a runtime error. These errors, which are caused by problems in your system registry, can be fixed quickly.
