Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Problem

When trying to launch a MMO i get an error:

"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Program: C:\Program Files\steer\update.exe

abnormal program termination"


Ive read on a few other forums that it might be a Google Toolbar related error, or a Microsoft Java Virtual Machine but i dont have either one of those. Any help would be appreciated. If this isnt the right spot for this, forgive me!

 

I'm taking a wild guess here.

Do you have a game called Steer that you're trying to play, or installed?

What is the parent program of C:\Program Files\ Steer\ Update.exe?

What is the operating system?

What is the MMO?


(BTW, Micro$$oft Visual C++ is not the same as Micro$$oft Java Virtual Machine)

 

well it's a japanese MMO: kart-steer.jp I've never had a problem running any other foreign MMO's like this, so i dont think has to do with the language or anything. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by parent program, and I am running on Windows XP

The whole Virtual Machine came about when I was reading posts about the error on google.

 

Visual C++ is a programming language used to write programs and applications. Virtual Machine is an environment that programs use, similar to Sun Java.


Anyway, I'm assuming it's some sort of Japanese online game?

Try uninstaling it completely, then reinstall.


It's telling you that while it was updating itself (update.exe), it was abruptly terminated and couldn't finish.

 

ive done that maybe four times at this point, still gives me the same message
