I run Windows 98 and was having a great deal of trouble with Internet Explorer Version 6. Any time a pop-up window would come up, or if you right clicked on a link and selected "open in new window", I would get the "C++ Runtime Error" and it would close the new window, perhaps the old one, and maybe others open at the time. It was driving me crazy.

I searched many websites for potential solutions can came across this which seems to work:

I seem to have fixed this problem by downloading on my PC the "Ad-Aware" software from Lavasoft. It is free and can be found at

This software can clean your PC of parasitic software that opens the pop-up windows and cause problems. My error quite occurring after running Ad-Aware a few times and getting my machine clean. Now, I update Ad-Aware periodically and run it nearly daily, and the error has not reoccurred.
