Windows Runtime Error
The windows runtime errors occur on almost all computers running on the Windows OS at some point in time. You will generally get to see an error message and the most common will be:
“There is not enough memory available to run this program.
Quit one or more programs, and then try again.”
There are several windows runtime errors like this that are mostly caused due to the following:
- Software problem
- Confliction with TSR or any other running program
- Memory Problem
- Computer Virus
The Solution for windows runtime errors
There are different solutions for different windows runtime errors and the only way you can actually troubleshoot a runtime error is when you know the type of error it is.
For example: If you see the “Runtime error 48 error loading in DLL”, then it has been caused by a bad installation. The solution is to remove the program that showed the error and try installing it again. If it still shows the error then you will have to remove the program from you computer and do a fresh install.
Software issue: Several windows runtime errors are caused by software problems. There are several windows runtime errors like 64bad file error or 74/can’t rename with different drive that will need immediate attention. You can remove the particular software and re-load it again but if the problem persists then you can jump to the next step which is downloading updates for that particular software. Most of the time, software related issues can be sorted out by downloading updates. There are different types of plug-ins or Add-ons are available for the same and you can download them to see if the program or software runs smoothly or not.
Confliction with TSR: When you get windows runtime errors that show a confliction with the TSR’s like error loading DLL and similar problems then the best solution is to do the following:
Boot at MS-DOS prompt.
At MS-DOS prompt, type:
cd\ <press enter>
ren autoexec.bat autoexec.ch <press enter>
ren config.sys config.ch <press enter>
Once this is done, you can reboot your computer.
Memory Problem: The memory problem is one of the many windows runtime errors that you will face while working on Windows OS and especially after a program download. Some of the windows runtime errors related to memory include:
7/out of memory
28/out of stack space
61/ disk is full
68/device is unavailable
1001/out of memory
When there is a memory error then there are two options: either you can contact the developer if a program is causing the problem or format the primary drive if it is a disk error.
Computer virus: The best solution for viruses is the use of an anti-virus program like Norton or MacAfee etc.
