Visual C++ Runtime Error with Yahoo Messenger

Guys, I'm getting a runtime error when Yahoo starts...
"This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."
It's on the Ypager.exe file itself...any ideas?

Lately I have seen Google Toolbar causing a runtime error when launchin IE but havent heard when using yahoo. When you say open Yahoo exactly what are you opening?

Evening, GG....what's opening is the "YPager.exe" file which I assume is the actual messenger program. It then gives a Windows "illegal operation error" before it shuts down again.

I apologize, Evening MT :smile:


You may be getting the error if the Pager has not been installed properly on your system. Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall yet?

I'll give ya the 'ol speech

Please follow these instructions carefully, don't miss one step hehe :laugh:

Scan your pc with 2 of these free online scanners:
Panda ActiveScan
RAV AntiVirus
Housecall Be sure to put a check the box beside AutoClean
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download / Install / Update / and Run:
Adaware SE check for any updates before running it.
Get the plug-in for fixing VX2 variants. You can download it at this SITE
To run this tool, install to the hard drive, then open Ad-aware->Add-ons and select VX2 Cleaner. Then click Run Tool and OK to start it. If it's clean, it will say Status System Clean. Otherwise, you will have to click on the Clean button to remove the VX2 infection.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download and install Spybot S&D . Run Spybot and click on the 'Search for Updates' button. Install any updates that are available. Next click on the 'Check for Problems' button. Let it run the scan. If it finds something, check all those in [red]RED[/red] and hit the Fix Selected Problems button. Exit Spybot. If you keep getting the DSO Exploit entries, even after you updated Windows and fixed them, then download the Spybot DSO Exploit Fix and install it over the current Spybot installation.

If that does not resolve your issue Download and install: HiJackThis.

(Always create a Folder for HiJackThis anywhere but your Temp/Temporary Internet Folders or Desktop. A good place to make a folder would be in My Documents, as this is where it will save the backup files needed if there's a problem.)

Then doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Do A System Scan And Save Log". Make sure all Windows and Browsers are closed.
When the scan is finished, best to save your text file in the same folder as where you put HiJackthis.


IMPORTANT!!!
Create a New Topic and include a fresh HJT log in the HiJackThisLog Help Forum and Copy/Paste the info from your saved Hijackthis log file into your new topic.

A Moderator/ Security Team Analyst will give you instructions.


***DO NOT TRY TO FIX ANYTHING, MAJOR DAMAGE CAN BE DONE TO YOUR SYSTEM IF THIS TOOL IS USED INCORRECTLY, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN ANALYST/MODERATOR TO GIVE YOU INSTRUCTIONS***


Always describe your problem and any programs you have used to try to resolve your issue. Your description can go a long way to solving/repairing your particular issue.

Runtime errors are tough to pinpoint, its one of those errors that make ya wanna cringe :1angel:

A runtime error is one 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.

So basically you wait for a fix, not much more I can tell you to do other than the obvious unless ther eis a fix for the particular error. ...and I have not found it yet :deveous:
