Runtime Error

This page deals with application runtime errors, and the information presented here applies equally to applications running on Windows 2000, XP or Vista .

Before you proceed with any of the solutions presented here, make sure that you are not getting "A Runtime Error has occurred" error message when you view Web pages in Internet Exploder. If the error is being generated by Internet Exploder and looks something like the following then disable script debugging in IE.

Error
A Runtime Error has occurred.
Do you wish to Debug?
Line: line number
Error: nature of script error

Follow these steps to disable script debugging in IE.

If the problem is not IE script debugging and if the problem isn't identifiable from the troubleshooting tips below, or from the knowledgebase articles also provided below then you're not going to like the solution to the remaining runtime error problem solutions. Solving runtime errors boils down to these limited options:

Contact the software publisher for assistance, or:

  • Application X is corrupt. Remove application X.

  • Reinstall application X

If reinstalling the application doesn't fix the problem, you're left with:

  • One of the XP common libraries is corrupt.

  • Try

  • Do an of XP, or other Windows OS.

  • Failing that, a full clean install is required.

 
Runtime errors are notorious for not being clear or decipherable. The classic runtime error looks like this:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Error
Runtime Error


Sometimes you get "lucky" and you get a message like this:

Runtime Error
General Failure


As cryptic as the latter message looks, it is astonishingly accurate. A runtime error is, most often, a general failure, where general means, in essence, non-specific. Your application or operating system should not suffer "general, non-specific" errors. While runtime errors may be due to bugs in programs, they are, more often than not, indicative of more abnormal situations, hence the radical solutions mentioned at the start of this article.
The first problem to overcome when troubleshooting runtime errors is deciding if you are dealing with a badly-written software package or a genuine case of corruption in a vital component. Note that corruption in this context also includes virus infections and malware infestations. A badly-written email application might, for example, issue a runtime error when its message store is full.

Perform these basic steps and checks first:
  • Check for a virus or malware problem.
  • Check the permissions of the user account that exhibits the problem:
    • Ensure that the account has sufficient rights
    • Check if the problem occurs in other user accounts or in an account that has Administrator privilege.
  • Search or browse the knowledgebase articles listed below.
  • If the error message is associated with a particular application that isn't a Microsoft product, also check the documentation for that application or contact the software publisher.
Even if your product is not a Microsoft product, a browse of the list of articles below is recommended because they expose the nature of runtime errors, which is mostly as stated previously; the errors are related to some type of corruption, be it missing files, registry issues, data corruption, application bugs and incompatibilities due to mismatched application components (DLLs).

As an example of the usefulness of browsing this repository, in the articles listed below there is a reference to a runtime error that occurs when printing from within "Microsoft Picture It!". The cause of the problem is given as "This behaviour may occur if there is a problem with the printer driver. For example, the driver is damaged, outdated, or incompatible with Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me), or Microsoft Windows XP Home." So, even though the article is about Picture It, if your runtime error occurs when you print, you have a reference point to a possible fix for your problem, update the printer drivers. If the problem occurs only in one application, remove it and look for an updated version.

If you find an article that might describe your problem but discover that it references a particular application don't discount the article out of hand as irrelevant. Lower down there is an article titled '"Runtime Error. Abnormal Program Termination." Error Message Appears When Connecting to the Internet', and the text of the article indicates that AOL software is corrupt. The problem with Microsoft's knowledgebase is that they tend to write articles for very specific conditions, even though the very same symptoms, and the very same fixes, apply to other software packages. To find a solution to your runtime error problem you will have to read carefully and make some assumptions, then work from those assumptions towards a solution.

If you still cannot resolve the problem then your choices are stark; you can continue searching the Internet for solutions or you can take the drastic step of doing an in-place upgrade of XP or a full clean install. If you've already spent a lot of time searching for a solution then perhaps the drastic steps are called for.

Eventually, the following error message occurs:

A Runtime Error has occurred.
Do you wish to Debug?


However, the Site Server documentation (Help) page is still displayed behind the error message dialog box.

The line number and error referenced in the error message may vary. Following are two sets of line numbers and errors that may be displayed:

Line: 81
Error: Unspecified error.
Line: 87
Error: 'parent.main_l.document.hhctrl.object' is not an object


There are two browser checks occurring, one by the Ad Manager and one by the documentation Help file at SiteServer/Docs/Default_com.htm.

The Ad Manager code finds that it is running Internet Explorer version 4.0 or later. The documentation Help file finds that it is not running Internet Explorer 4.0, and therefore, runs a Java applet instead. However, the Ad Manager tries to run a control, which it does not find because it was not called by the Java applet.

Translated into non-geek, the latter paragraph means that the application got its knickers in a knot.

When you create a Microsoft Outlook e-mail message, you may receive the following error message:

Runtime error 424 - Object Required

This error occurs if the following conditions are true:
  •  You are using Microsoft Word as your e-mail editor.
  • Word is using a template to create the e-mail message.
  • The template contains a macro that uses the Count properties of the Shapes Collection.
This problem occurs because when you use Word to create an e-mail message and then close Word, Outlook still contains a reference to Word in memory. When you create a second e-mail message, and then you try to programmatically get the Count properties of the Shapes Collection for the second document, the procedure fails.

This problem has been reproduced by using Microsoft VC Automation, Microsoft Visual Basic ActiveX DLLs, Microsoft Visual Basic ActiveX EXEs and Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).
