 You can't use a PC these days without encountering an error at some point in time. Technology is wonderful but it is in no way perfect. You may encounter errors like the "runtime error" when opening a file, software or installing/uninstalling a software or hardware. Sometimes they just pop up from time to time and it becomes really frustrating if you are trying to work (or even when at play!). But you cannot just ignore the error, as this is the way a computer warns the user that something is wrong with the PC.

It might be a simple error or a very severe one which can end up crashing your PC. The problem is that most of the users have no clue what these errors are about, and are left confused and frustrated because of the use of computer lingo by the operating system. So here is an overview about one error that is regularly encountered in simple English so you can understand the problem. The runtime error is a phrase you definitely might have read on your PC. You encounter a runtime error basically when two programs are in conflict with each other or effect the functioning of one another in any way. Essentially it occurs when you install and uninstall a large number of programs in your computer. The reason for that is the most important and fragile component of the operating system called the registry.

The Windows registry is the component that stores information and translates it to action whenever you push a button. It also stores all the information about the software installed or uninstalled as it has to mediate between the software and system to make them work. When you install and uninstall a large number of programs regularly, the registry gets so full of data that it starts affecting the system. Basically sometimes during uninstallation some files are not deleted from the registry, or during an improper installation a file is not inserted properly in the registry. Due to these missing links the programs start behaving strangely sometimes resulting errors. In fact in the windows operating system most of the errors that you face are due to the problems in the windows registry.

As the registry is one of the most important component of the operating system it is very important that you do something to curb this problem. Fortunately, PC Tools has developed Registry Mechanic that can repair the registry in no time. It is the best registry cleaner around, having won multiple awards and downloaded by millions.
