Runtime Error 76

The runtime error 76 message is displayed on a computer screen when the path cannot be found by the program that is running. What this means is that the spot where the program should be storing, or writing, data cannot be located. In other words, the program doesn’t know where it should be looking. This often results in the program freezing or crashing. This type of error can occur at any time with any program, as running programs are constantly accessing and rewriting data as they are used. As soon as a problem occurs in this process, error messages will begin to appear.

There are a number of reasons why the path to the data cannot be found. If the program was not installed correctly, the locations of files may not be correct. This means that the program will think that a file should be in a particular place, but in fact it won’t be there. Also, moving files can cause this error as again, the program will expect a file to be in a specific location. By moving it, the program continues to go to the original spot, but nothing will be found there.

It is relatively easy to correct for these types of runtime errors. First, you should run a virus check to ensure that the program has not become corrupted in some way. If you have moved files or folders, moving them back to their original locations should correct the problem. Should you still be having problems, try uninstalling and re-installing the program to ensure that all files are installed correctly.

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.

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.

Common Runtime Errors

A runtime error is a computer error message that occurs during the execution of a program. Runtime errors indicate problems with the program or design of the program. Typically, these errors are a nuisance, but usually, they are not critical or fatal. In most circumstances, there is an easy fix to this type of error that can be completed successfully by the user.

Runtime error messages may arise while trying to access a webpage or while opening a program or working in a document. There are several kinds of runtime errors that you may receive. Like other common computer errors, runtime errors are given with a number after the error, which explains what causes the error.

For example, you may receive an error message that states: runtime error 48. The fact that 48 is included with the error message is a way to clarify what exactly is causing the error with your machine. In order to best fix the error, users should use the numeric code to find the reason for the error, which should also identify the best approach for fixing it.

The following are a few fairly common runtime errors. Listed below each error is a possible cause, as well as an option for fixing the error.

Runtime Error 48 – Error Loading DLL
  • Conflicts with other programs
Sometimes when too many programs are running at once this can prompt a runtime error. Close down all open programs and try again to open the program, document or webpage that you were working on when you originally received the error message. It may seem too easy that just closing out multiple programs will eliminate this error, but this simple solution is often the all that you need to do.

Runtime Error 58 – File Already Exists
  • Software issues, add ons or plug ins
If you are receiving a runtime error while trying to use software, add ons or plug ins that have been installed on the computer, you can check your recently installed software to see if there are available updates for it. Often times, running out-of-date software can prompt a runtime error. When you receive a prompt that indicates that upgrades are available for your programs, you should accept these updates regularly as this will help eliminate these errors from occurring. If updating the software does not eliminate the runtime error, it may indicate that there is a problem with the software itself. In this case, you can uninstall and then reinstall the software. If this does not work, you should notify the support that is offered with the software package for assistance.

Runtime Error 7 – Out of Memory
  • Memory issues
A runtime error 7 indicates that your computer is low on memory. You can start by deleting files and programs that you no longer use. This will help, but probably will not offer a long-term solution. The more programs you install and files that you save on your system, the more memory is taken up. If runtime errors are chronic, you may want to consider purchasing more memory. Memory can easily be purchased and installed by any computer repair shop.
