Error
What is a runtime error and
what is its purpose? Well, it's probably no surprise that everyone reading
this has probably come across a runtime error sometime in their computer
using lives. Runtime errors are common, but what are they? Here's a little
description for you.
Basically, it is an
error that occurs during the execution of a program. Runtime errors go
along with the "bug" errors that you may sometimes see as well.
The error tells you that your system has found certain bugs in the program
you are using. The error also indicates some problems that the creators
of the program anticipated on, but couldn't fix.
There are various
runtime error numbers, each referring to a different problem and they
can occur in various programs, including Outlook Express and Internet
Explorer. If you are hit with a runtime error, look at the assigned number
and do a Web search on it. Chances are, you will find a quick fix. Here
is an example of one runtime error that could come up.
A common example of
a runtime error is running out of memory. This could easily cause the
error to show up on your computer. Runtime errors are fairly easy to recover
from and they are nothing like a system crash.
So, the next time
your computer is invaded by a runtime error, you'll know what's going
on and you'll know how you can go about fixing it fast!
