What are communicator.exe Error Messages?


communicator.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when communicator.exe is attempted to be loaded either when Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using Microsoft Office Communicator 2007.

In most cases, communicator.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these communicator.exe error messages mean that Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 will be unable to start without resolving these errors.
