This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way please contact the application's support

I randomly get this error message "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support." 
Here's a picture of it. http://i48.tinypic.com/35hradh.jpg  
It doesn't tell me what application or process is responsible. :/
It pops up randomly when I wait long enough. It will pop up even if I don't have anything open and I just leave my computer to idle. When I close it or click okay, windows explorer gui will crash and restart. I can still use the computer after this without
restarting but again if I wait long enough it will occur again. I've look around and tried many solutions but nothing has worked.
I've tried a full virus scan, and malware scan with no luck. Tried the registry cleaner from CCleaner and doesn't fix it. I've ran it in safe mode and the error didn't seem to occur or maybe I didn't wait long enough (30-40 minutes).  I've tried a SFC
scan and nothing comes up as wrong. I've done a cleanboot several times with no help. I can't do a system restore since the latest restore point is on the same day that I got the error unfortunately.
When the error occurs the pop up window is from Microsoft Visual C++. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Microsoft Visual C++ for my 2010 versions but with no luck. I've uninstalled the recent programs that I installed and no help either.
In the event viewer, it shows  that there is an error and the source is an application error. The details are...

I checked the process that the error message window links to and it is explorer.exe but I'm not sure what I can do since it's an essential windows file and I can't just delete it.
Anyone have any ideas what is going on?
Thanks.

Hi ,
Do you remember if you  have installed some software prior to this issue?
Delete programs you never use.
If the issue reoccurs in Clean Boot, but works fine in Safe Mode, the cause may be the disabled hardware drivers. You may narrow down the
causes in Device Clean Boot.
Device Clean Boot
=================
1. Click Start, type "devmgmt.msc" (without quotation marks) in the Search bar and press Enter.
2. Expand "Sound, video and game controllers".
3. Right click on your sound card and then click "Properties.
4. In the dropdown menu of Device Usage, please choose "Do not use this device (disable)" and click OK.
5. Please use the same method to disable other dubious hardware such as: internal modem, network card and CD-R drive. Please note some devices
such as video adapter are not available to be disabled.

    I keep getting this message when I click on file explorer, my computer or dropbox. I therefore cannot open any files.
    I have used "Windows Update" to bring my computer uptodate.
    This site mentioned the updates would contain the service pack to resolve the problem.
    What should I do now?

    This problem can have many different causes, so the steps to solve can vary / be complex.
    Firstly, have you installed any non-Microsoft programs recently?
    If so, this could be the cause of the errors, try to uninstall the programs.
    Some other discussions (rather complex), which suggest that Explorer-extensions can be the cause of this:

    I didn't find any relevant clues for this in NI forums. A search at Google brought me to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884538/en-us, offering a HotFix to solve the problem. Unfortunately, the installation of this HotFix does not solve the problem.
    Do you know this behavior and do you have any ideas how the problem can be solved?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi there
    log in as administrator and kill all processes not needed and try again. I've seen cases where one of these free download tweak applications (like "Memory Defragmentation" and stuff like that) caused that error.

  • Error building installer: this application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way

    Hi,
    I build an appliction using LabView 8.2 with Report Generation Toolkit for MS Office V1.1.1 on a WinXP SP3 system without any errors. When I try to build a coresponding Installer, I got the following error message:
    This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
    Can anyone help me????
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Gunnar,
    Good Morning and I hope your well today. Thanks for your post onto the NI Discussion Forums. 
    There are several considerations and potential causes of the error. I will try my best to cover some of the potential causes.
    Firstly, you've suggested that the Report Generation Toolkit is being used:
    When building applications with Report Generation Toolkit VIs, you must complete the following additional steps:
    1. From the Source Files tab of the Build Application or Shared Library (DLL) dialog box, click the Add Dynamic VI button to add the following two VIs to the application:
    – _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi in vi.lib\addons\_office\_exclsub.llb
    – _Word Dynamic VIs.vi in vi.lib\addons\
    _office\_wordsub.llb
    2. If the application you are building contains the MS Office Report Express VI, you must add any Word or Excel templates that you use to the built application. From the Source Files tab, click the Add Support File button to add the template files to the application. By default, the custom destination for the templates is the same as the path that appears in the Destination directory field on the Target tab with a data subdirectory appended. Do not change the custom destination for the files you add.
    For example, if you are using the basic Excel template with the MS Office Report Express VI, add MSOffice_RGT_Template.xlt to the application. The basic template files are located in the templates\Report directory.
    Have you done this?
    Could you please send an image of your project and your installer options?
    The problem was that I use Office toolkit and it was not compiled with LabVIEW 8.2:
    I found a forum where the toolkit wasn't complied for LabVIEW 8.2. Could this be an issue I wonder?
    I mass compiled the complete directory c:\program files\National
    Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2 (it took quite a long time) and afterwards the
    directory lvjpeg disapeared.
    Have you tried this?
    Runtime to Terminate Error:
    1. Have you been having any trouble with LabVIEW - crashes or bug installation?
    I would suggest repairing your installation of LabVIEW and the toolkit(s) using the Add/Remove Programs.
    2. Also would it be possible to try building an installer on another machine?
    3. I have seen that not enough Hard-disk space can cause this error - what is the status of yours?
    4. Are you using any other drivers such as DAQmx or VISA?
    I hope this information starts to help us locate the root cause of the trouble your having, and if you could answer the questions above and try my suggestions that would be great! if you could also gather the extra information about your installer options that would also really help supporting the issue further.
     *edit:
    5. Also the runtime error would suggest you've selected to include a runtime in your installer options - have you tried de-selecting this and see if it installer builds correctly? If it does, then we could then work on how to add the additional installer to your build.
