How to Fix "A Runtime Error Has Occurred" Under XP
- 1). Update your anti-virus software and run a virus check on your system. Some runtime errors can be caused by computer viruses.
- 2). Disable third-party, pop-up blockers on Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer running under XP can prevent frames and table some websites from opening, causing runtime errors.
- 3). Close all applications except for the ones you are currently using. Sometimes, incompatibility issues will cause runtime errors. You can cut down on your odds of getting a runtime error if you only keep open those programs that you are actually using.
- 4). Check the program manufacturer's site for updates or fixes. Manufacturers often issue fixes for runtime errors.
