Runtime errors are a nuisance that may occur when you’re launching a software, program, or application on your computer system. Sometimes they stop working on their own and go away and at those times you need to take care of them by taking direct action in order to sort them out. So, in this article, we will mostly try to cover what this error basically is, what are the reasons for its occurrence, and how to fix them so that they don’t become a nuisance ever again.
About Runtime Error
A runtime error is the one that would occur when you’re launching a program or software. This is a different error from all the other ones that pop up while you’re running the program already.
Mostly the runtime error will be in a message box with an error code on it and the other details about the affected SO player. It would also suggest contacting a support team or even an IT administrator.
Causes for Runtime Error
Now there are a number of reasons why a runtime error may have occurred. Now it may be because of a bug due to some new updates, which the programmers were unable to fix. And in most cases, it’s because of the lack of memory or the low system specs from the required list of the application.
How to fix it
- Reboot your system: Well this is a cliche but it works and may fix your problem, so there is no problem in trying. Runtime errors are no exception, they are a common problem.
- Close the other applications: there is a chance that the other applications may be interfering with your SO Player or maybe the others are using too many system resources and there is none left for the player. So use task manager to stop all the other running files.
- Run the app using safe mode: So safe mode can be the solution to your problem as it may allow the app to run that otherwise was not able to, so boot into the safe mode and then again try running the application once more.
- Reinstall the SO Player: Reinstalling the app is a good choice as there are high chances that your app may be corrupted, so doing that would solve that purpose most probably. To save the important files and then using any kind of an uninstaller app, just do the deed.
- Scan for any kind of malware: It’s not unknown and it’s pretty common that malware or a virus could be causing the runtime error. So it’s never harmful to scan your system once and make sure that it’s clear of any infections.
