Runtime Error 339

One of the most common error types to come across when working with a Windows computer is runtime errors. Particularly as computers age and are used more and more, it is likely that runtime errors will occur more often.

Runtime error 339 commonly occurs due to a missing file when trying to install software on a computer. Specifically, this error occurs if the file that is missing is an .ocx file. OCX files are commonly referred to as ActiveX controls. These types of files can be used by many different software programs and usually control the interface between the user and the program.

Unfortunately, runtime error 339 doesn’t occur when you are installing the program, but is usually triggered when you try to launch it after installation or try to use some part of the program. The specific activity requires the missing .ocx file, which in turn causes the error message.

The most common reason for runtime error 339 messages is missing or corrupt Java files or ActiveX controls. Ensuring your versions of Java and ActiveX are up-to-date is one way of combating these types of errors. Also, the files may have been corrupted due to errors in the registry of your computer. In this case, it is worth running a scan of your hard drive and then using a registry cleaner to get rid of any corrupt or damaged files. Once you have done so, you should try re-installing the program.
