I think this is because System Restore sometimes renames folders and/or creates duplicate folders causing other things not to function properly. It works and does its job, like the VAIO Recovery Tool does, just sometimes not perfectly without annoying side-effects. I do use them both sometimes (although I try to avoid it), however I don't know when the issue started as I hadn't tried it for a long time and only noticed it when I tried to use it today. Therefore I don't really want to make the computer rename folders by recovering and then reverting if it doesn't work.<BR /><BR />I was just wondering if there were any other suggestions - VAIO Support will just tell me either to reinstall or completely recover the computer which aren't really efficient just to get 1 program working. No viruses or anything, the computer is well maintained and everything else seems to work alright.<BR /><BR />The unit model is a VAIO VGC-V2M.<BR /><BR />Hopefully I can sort this out and everything will be working well. Thanks in advance.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 15 Feb 2008 16:43:12 GMT A-lastair-M 2008-02-15T16:43:12Z https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/pcs-accessories/quot-runtime-error-abnormal-program-termination-quot/m-p/151071#M17490 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Doesn't seem like so long ago that I actually managed to get DVgate Plus working again. <BR /><BR />It keeps giving me the error message when I start it up:<BR /><BR /><PRE __jive_macro_name="quote" class="jive_text_macro jive_macro_quote"><STRONG>"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library"</STRONG><BR />Runtime Error!<BR /><BR />Program: C:\Program Files\Sony\dvgate plus\DVPlus.exe<BR /><BR />abnormal program termination<BR /></PRE><BR /><BR />I don't want to reinstall for 2 reasons:<BR /><BR />1) In the past when DVgate wouldn't start (for a different reason - said I didn't have an authentic VAIO for some reason...) and I reinstalled it (possibly using Utils.exe, I can't remember), it ruined my editing that I had done in Adobe Premiere.<BR /><BR />2) The VAIO Recovery Tool/System Restore seems to make things worse elsewhere, mainly with the VAIO Launcher - the icons sometimes disappear and it all messes up along with VAIO Zone.
