In plain speak, a Windows runtime error occurs when a program is being executed, and indicates either the presence of bugs in the program or problems that the designers knew about but couldn’t remedy. The simplest instance of a runtime error occurring is when your system is out of memory. Most typically, you will get a message that says: “A Runtime Error has occurred. Do you wish to debug?” or “Internet Explorer Script Error. An error has occurred in the script on line 1. Do you wish to continue running scripts on this page?”

These runtime errors can be irritating because few people know what to do with these messages. As Cynthia Howe, a homemaker and frequent Internet user says, “I click on Yes or No depending on my mood.” Err…Cynthia, perhaps a slightly less random approach would be of help to your PC?

Broadly speaking, runtime errors may occur for the following reasons: first, there is a programming error on the web page; second, you may be running a pop-up killer that closes pop-up windows so fast that the script on the web page fails, though this is comparatively rare; and third, and very commonly, you might have ad ware or spyware in your computer, probably without your knowledge, which generates the runtime error warnings. While the first two pertain to Internet Explorer, the third indicates a problem with your operating system.

Now the thing about these errors is that though they may seem innocuous enough, what they in fact indicate is that your computer is unable to run certain programs properly. And if they are being generated by ad ware or spyware, then runtime errors are an indication of a larger problem to come, like a system crash which, as we are sure you will agree, is truly a problem that you can do without. And the best way to get rid of ad ware and spyware is to clean Windows Registry, which boots these malicious and secretive programs right out of your system.

For those who don’t know what Windows Registry is, it is an immense database that stores every bit of data pertaining to the running of your Windows operating system. And what unwanted programs such as ad ware and spyware do is clog the Registry so that it is either bloated or corrupt or both, and hence can’t function to its full potential. Therefore, all unwanted files must be cleaned up, and the best way to do so is by using a Windows Registry cleaner.

Cleaning the Registry will also help you clean up plenty of space on your hard drive and free some much needed memory, which will in turn minimize the occurrence of Windows runtime errors. Reliable and high quality Registry cleaners are available on the Internet free of cost, so you just need to download them. Unless you are an advanced level PC user, your Windows Registry shouldn’t take too long to clean. And even if it does, we think cleaning Windows Registry is a small price to pay in exchange for zero runtime errors!

We recommend RegCure (direct download link) as the premiere registry cleaner and error repair tool.
