Runtime error ??

where would i go to find out how to fix a runtime error?? When i gat some files, usually ending in (.doc). I always get a runtime error....
It says...

Microsoft visual c++ runtime library
Runtime Error !
program:c:\programfiles\microsoftoffice\office11\winword.exe
this application has requested the runtime to terminate in an unusual way.
Please contact the applications support team for more info.

What is this ... and do you know how to fix it ??

Thanks,
The Sniper

There was more information on the error that reports the specific file
eg: msvcrtxx.dll

you should also see it using CP->Admin Tools->Event Viewer
and it's either under Applications or System as an error event.

Your MSWORD and the library are:
  1. out of sync (one was updated and not the other)
  2. OR a file is corrupted

find the error in the Event Viewer and report the library name.

In addition, there is frequently a link in the viewer to the MS Site and it will search
for similar problems, if it is a known issue.

found the event viewer ... but i have no idea what i'm looking at or what you mean by library name... i do see a couple red X's ..
1. says application hang.. category (none)...event(1001)user (N/A)
2. says MSI installer...category(none)...event (1002)...user Barry Adams

Does this mean anything to you .. LOL

you can try to repair the application
  1. control panel->Add/Remove
  2. find MS Office
  3. click the button on the right
  4. If it offers to CHANGE or REPAIR click that
  5. otherwise CANCEL
another approach might be
  1. boot into SAFE MODE
  2. login an admin account
  3. get a command prompt
  4. enter sfc /scannow
  5. wait for it to complete -- it will take several minutes.

it only offers to change or remove .. not repair.
the other approach is WAAAAAAY to much for me to try.

then Uninstall Office, reboot, and reinstall. Your documents will be safe.
