1. Coding error caused by the developers during the process of development of a program
2. Missing files in an application that has been downloaded
3. Conflict between an application that you have run with another program running in the background
4. Problems in the registry caused by bloating or corruption may culminate into runtime errors
5. Infections caused by virus and spyware may lead to damages to software and cause runtime errors.

Run times errors can be easily fixed by using the following steps:

1. Some runtime errors may be caused by missing files in an application that you have downloaded from internet. These applications may need security patches or updates to ensure their smooth functioning. You should visit the website of the application manufacturer and search for updates of that specific runtime error. You can also automate the process of updating your system whereby all applications are automatically updated regularly.
