It's a message indicating that there's been a problem during the execution of a program and it is offering you to find the fault yourself, usually in C.
Sometimes it's just one of those things and you have to restart the program and carry on, sometimes it is just that it is not compatible with your Operating System (XP).
Would be useful to know what program is failing, and the version number if poss.
Cheers

Thanks amofws,
It is happening when I try to access for example ebay. In fact it takes an age to download the page. I have just installed BT Broadband. Could this be the problem? If I click on stop on the address bar then the page appears
I thought of reinstalling windows xp do you think that would fix it?

Fueldump,
If the runtime error only appears using Internet explorer try reinstalling ie6 (and it's miriad patches) FIRST before going the whole hog and reinstalling XP.
It sounds like a library has not been registered correctly and the routines on the web page are crashing. How to check which one and repair it is awkward and best fixed by reinstalling IE.

Easy permanent fix
Fueldump you dont need to reinstall IE to fix this. The reason you see this message is that IE is having trouble reading the web page. This is always due to an error on the part of the person who wrote the web page. Essentially its asking you to fix someone elses mistake.

You will see that the Disable script debugging is unchecked. Check this and then uncheck the Display notification about every script error box just below it.
You will never see the Runtime error window again..
This is from the Windows XP Timesaving Techniques for Dummies book. Cant speak highly enough of this book.
