Running WinXP Pro SP1. Using AVG. I know this system has "issues" ... e.g. panda software's online scanner shuts down a few minutes into the scan ... the whole browser just disappears like it was never there ! Trendmicro's Housecall can complete a scan, however.

Anyway, when running the first step of CCleaner v1.23.160 , after some time, I get :

Runtime error '6'

...and the program shuts down when the box is clicked on.

Thanks for any tips !

Runtime Error 6 is Overflow meaning that some number in the coding is too large for a Type to handle

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Mangix do you know what could cause this? Is it memory related?


Also Ronny have you been having malware issues?

[rridgely]

Ok, so why could this error be happening with CCleaner on his system? If its code related what makes his pc differant than ours?

[rridgely]

What determines if its too big? Their is obviously something differant about his pc than everyone elses to make it too big right?

MS's Antispyware runs regularly after midnight; yesterday Housecall's Full online scan found nothing; Adaware SE freshly updated found nothing. I did notice that Adaware was going through what seemed to be a tremendous number of *.tmp files though ...

I may try to clear them out manually ... to see if that helps.

Runtime error 6 is indeed an overflow issue. It's due to the usage of RTF forms/boxes in the application.

What versions of RTF are you using?

Versions:

• RichEd20.dll --> 5.30.23.1221
  
• RichEd32.dll --> 5.1.2600.0
  
• RichTx32.ocx --> 6.1.97.82

RichEd20.dll and RichEd32.dll were both found using XP's search function.

They were both found, but let me repeat.

Well, how can I find that out? Where does it hide?

[Tarun]

On Windows 9x/ME it would be in your %windir%/system/ directory.

On Windows XP/2k/NT it would be %windir%/system32/

You can also use the Search function built into your computer.

In my XP's Windows\System32 folder, I do not have any folder called "RTF". I had already reported what files Search had found. ("RichEd20.dll and RichEd32.dll were both found using XP's search function.")

BTW, I have over 56,000 *.tmp files. Even booting into Safe mode and trying to delete them there is a painfully slow proces. I am down to about 45,000 now ... but CCleaner still blows up when I go back to regular mode and try it again ...

Wow, that's alot. I don't think CCleaner could handle that many. Just mass delete them if they are in the temp folder.

[Andavari]

As TwistedMetal pointed out you can mass delete those .tmp files. Via a Command Prompt here's how:
del /q "%windir%\temp\*.tmp"

So you didn't find RichTx32.ocx? Go download it and pop it into the system32 directory, then Start > Run > regsrv32 C:\Windows\System32\RichTx32.ocx

Be sure it's version 6.1.97.82

It can handle it fine, it just takes time.
