"This > application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual > way." Addition. Google gives lots of hits when using the error message as a search term: <http://www.google.ch/search?q=This+application+has+requested+the+Runtime+to+terminate+in+an+unusual+way&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official> For Windows XP there seems to be a hotfix, but no available to the public: <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884538> Seems to be a problem with msvcirt.dll Some people on the boards claim that they fixed the problem by uninstalling the Google Toolbar and any other IE toolbars. If I remember correctly the Google Toolbar has been installed as well on that Vista 32-bit machine I got the same error. Here they claim that it is related to the "Advanced text services framework" which is an optional feature of XP (AFAIK): <http://www.winway.com/Main3/support/Resume/RuntimeErr/TermUnusualWay.aspx> In Vista it is always included. I don't know about Windows 2003. Unfortunately after googling I did not find a solution yet how to fix or work-around that problem. br, Rainer |
