R6034 Runtime Error

R6034 runtime errors often occur when browsing the Internet or opening or closing an Internet browser, usually Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. They can also appear when trying to shut down a computer. Many computer users can become frustrated very quickly with R6034 runtime errors as they do not know when or why they are occurring.

In most cases, an R6034 runtime error is caused by a damaged or corrupted file in the Windows registry. Because the role of the Windows registry is to keep track of all activity that occurs on a computer, installing, removing and using applications means that changes are constantly being made to the registry and the files found within it. Over time, the registry will begin to accumulate damaged files or fragments of files, usually due to installations or removals that do not complete properly. These files can then affect how well the registry runs and cause errors such as the R6034 runtime error.

Removing R6034 Runtime Errors

While these errors can be annoying, they are often quite easy to correct. In most cases, running a virus check and a registry cleaner should find and fix any errors within the registry that are causing errors such as the R6034 runtime error. There are many registry scans and cleaners available for download. Most provide a free scan of the computer, but will ask users to pay for the fix side of the program.

After downloading and installing a virus scanner and registry cleaner, you should start your computer in Safe Mode before running them. The reason to do this in Safe Mode is that most functionality isn’t available, which will allow you to make changes to the registry without affecting the rest of the computer.

To run in Safe Mode, restart the computer and when the screen appears showing the computer hardware, begin to tap the F8 key. This will take you to the Advanced Boot Options screen, which allows you to choose how you want to start your Windows session. Scroll down using the arrow keys until Safe Mode is highlighted and then press the Enter key. Once your computer has booted in Safe Mode, run the virus scan and then the registry cleaner. When these applications are finished and the errors have been corrected, you can restart your computer and it will automatically boot to a normal Windows system.
