requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way?
Hello,
A user of my web site has downloaded a MS Word zipped file to his hard disk. He unzips it using the Windows XP facility but when he double clicks on the Word document, instead of it being opened by MS Word he gets following error meessage, "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application support team for more informtion". Any ideas as to what is going wrong? Thanks Geoff |

Hi Geoff,
A user of my web site has downloaded a MS Word zipped file to his hard disk. He unzips it using the Windows XP facility but when he double clicks on the Word document, instead of it being opened by MS Word he gets following error meessage, "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application support team for more informtion". This is a message one gets from COM Addins that are encountering or causing a problem that causes the host (word) to crash. It's not really possible to say much more... The person has some tool or other installed that's interfering, but it's not possible to determine the cause at this remove. Can the document be opened from Word's File/Open menu?

Cheers Geoff Another avenue of inquiry: Is the user looking at Windows Explorer's view of the "zip file as a folder" and double-clicking the file there? If so, the document file hasn't really been unzipped. When you double-click the icon, Windows makes a copy in a temporary folder and passes the copy to Word. That can lead to some unexpected behavior, especially for add-ins that aren't written properly. Use Explorer to copy the file out of the zip "folder" into a real folder, and double-click that. It may prevent the problem... or it may not. ;-) -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
