Runtime Error C++ something...

[mattyboy]

I get this Runtime Error message that pops up about my Internet Explorer.exe file, and it says something at the top like "blah blah blah... C++ ..." What does C++ have to do with it?! I've had this cpu for years, and I don't have system restore, and it has done this since 3 weeks ago, but I've not installed anything that could do this, unless maybe... my kids did something... lol any help would be gracefully accepted, thank you!

Cause and cure unknown. If you figure it out, let us know.

Here's a couple of things I found using Google myself (still looking).....

Excerpt from another web page.....

" I try to access My Computer,I get an error message saying:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime error
Program C:\Windows\Explorer.exe
Abnormal Program Termination

And it wipes my icons off the screen, including the taskbar. Do you have any idea what happened, and how I can fix it?

Yup, I know what happened, You have some corrupt system files. You are definitely in need of scandisk/defrag (See accessories | System Tools on the start menu) and if that doesn't fix it (and it may not) You will need to fully reinstall Windows 95 or restore it from a backup. "

A virus check may be a good idea too.

This may sound a little off base - but what do you have installed for printer drivers?

I'll have to get back to you on that one, my uncle ahs the problem, but I told him I was registered here, so I posted this... I'll ask him and get back to you ASAP thank you!

I have a client that has been getting same "Microsoft Visual C++ runtime Library . . . path to IEXPLORE.EXE . . . .abnormal program termination" error but only with certain websites.

have attempted the following:
update virus signatures and run NAV several times - no viruses found and no luck
install, reinstall, uninstall, reinstall IE5.5 and IE6 - no luck
install VBRUN60.EXE - no luck
install runtime library (SPEU.EXE) - no luck
delete all temp files in Windows\temp dir, all cookies, Internet cache, and recycle bin - no luck
run RegClean (not recleaner)- no luck
run IE6 repair - no luck
disable all but a few items in MSCONFIG - no luck
Remove program "Common Name Taskbar 3.0" via add/remove progs - SUCCESS!!!!

I don't know what the heck that program was but it did show settings that I normally don't see in IE6 Tools \ Internet Options \ Advanced

Maybe this will help others, maybe take a look in the advanced settings and see if there is something odd there?? maybe add-on browser "enhancements" gumming up the works??
