We just got a new computer and my nieces downloaded all these pathetic games on it and now it has this runtime error thing…someone help me get rid of it.

It says: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
program: c:/windows/explorer.exe

Re: Runtime Error

First: Go to Add / Remove Programm in Control Panel and remove all unwanted Programs.

Second: Download Ad-Aware Install it and run Full scan(Will take some time depending upon computer data and speed BUT Better).

Re: Runtime Error

thanks everyone for ur help. I just downloaded spybot and ad-aware....hopefully the problem will be taken care of. Both of these programs r good right??? And can be used together?

Re: Runtime Error

Re: Runtime Error

better to use any one of them. I will recommend Ad-aware.

Re: Runtime Error

Ok thanks....I am using both right now.

Re: Runtime Error

is it fine now?

Re: Runtime Error

actually its really weird...we have 3 log in names...and in my log in name its fine there is no runtime error and when I logged onto my sis acct there was runtime error....how does that happen??

Re: Runtime Error

does google toolbar provide antispyware ,actually i haven’t tried g-toolbar, i use yahoo n it has antispyware in it ,so i thought shud recommend it ,thats y … :snooty:

talk later :clown:

Re: Runtime Error

If its a very new computer i would suggest reinstalling the whole thing. If that's too much trouble then, as you mentioned your sis's account, just delete that account and then recreate it. Some of those spywares install in user side of the registry.

Re: Runtime Error

Backup the important files from that user name which is giving problem and create new user name and restore the backed up files.

Re: Runtime Error

TB and aaho: Thanks for ur help that is what I did....hopefully there will be no more runtime error.
