A runtime error is an error that will pop-up via a message box telling the user that something somewhere went wrong. It is usually accompanied by a error code to better help identify the error. After closing the message box, the program will either stay frozen until you manually close or reboot, or it will automatically just close itself. These errors may be caused by simple computational errors, such as trying to divide by zero, and may sometimes be cause by viruses or other types of malicious software. Some common runtime errors are as follows:

Runtime error 429 in automating Office applications with the following message:
Run-time error ‘429′: ActiveX component can’t create object.

This may be caused by a couple things, such as a missing or damaged component in the application, or a mistake in the application itself.

Runtime error 1004 in Office Excel 2003:
Run-time error ‘1004′.
Application-defined or operation-defined error.

This may happen due to one or more cells in an array containing a character string greater than 911 characters.

Runtime error 216 in Windows, or a Windows program

A major cause of this error is due to being infected with with the SubSeven virus. This issue may be fixed by downloading updates to your anti-virus software and scanning your computer. If you don’t have anti-virus software there first step would then be for you to obtain some form of it. Free anti-virus software includes AVG Free and Avast! Anti-virus. Which one is best is mostly decided by user preference. You should look around before deciding which one is best for you.

What is runtime

A runtime is a description of the general lifespan of a computer program or application, from start to finish. A runtime environment is what’s used to provide service for programs while they are running, which may have to do with the software itself or the operating system. A good example would be how programs written in Java utilize the JRE’s (Java Runtime Environment) services. Going further down the process path, the program and the JRE both request services from the operating system. The operating system may even also request services from itself, and for that reason the OS is able to provide a runtime for itself. Errors may show up when something happens that the program was programmed to expect. Sometimes, a error may be unknown even to the program and may produce a message box telling you that the runtime error type is unknown.
