(run´tīm er´&r) (n.) An error that occurs during the execution of a program. In contrast, compile-time errors occur while a program is being compiled. Runtime errors indicate bugs in the program or problems that the designers had anticipated but could do nothing about. For example, running out of memory will often cause a runtime error.
Note that runtime errors differ from bombs or crashes in that you can often recover gracefully from a runtime error.
Troubleshooting Run-Time Error Messages Describes what to do if your DOS or Windows application crashes. Includes descriptions of common runtime errors, such as bad command or filename, unable to load COMMAND.COM, error reading drive, general protection fault (GPF), and stack overflow.
