Usually, you will notice that the computer becomes noticeably slow before a runtime error appears.<\/p>\n<p>After the runtime error message has been displayed and closed, the software that shows this error would normally close or freeze. In some cases, the operating system will reboot.<\/p>\n<p>A wide variety of errors cause these problems. These include:<br \/>-Conflicts between the TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident Program)and other currently running applications.<br \/>-Software issues such as an incompatibility with Windows.<br \/>-Memory (RAM ) problems.<br \/>-Harmful applications such as computer viruses.<\/p>\n<p>What can you do to fix the problem?<\/p>\n<p>The procedures for fixing a runtime error vary depending on what is causing the problem.  For a TSR issue, simply use the &#8220;end task&#8221; function of the Task Manager to end the conflicting program. <\/p>\n<p>Also try checking for software updates from the programs that you were running when the runtime error was caused. This may be your host audio program or any plug-ins or vitrual instruments you may have been using. The manufacture websites will have them in a &#8220;downloads&#8221; section. <\/p>\n<p>Next, try checking the RAM with memtest (Sweetcare article 30988) or removing individual RAM sticks to see if a stick is defective. finally, run a antivirus program such as AVAST to remove any harmful viruses. (This should only be done if you have your computer connected to the internet) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[34601],"storecat":[],"itemids":[30066,27963,25447,20395],"manufacturers":[33755,33300,33245],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the I Keep getting an error message that says &quot;Microsoft runtime error&quot; when I use my software.
