What are system.ini Error Messages?


General system.ini Runtime Errors

system.ini file errors often occur during the startup phase of RAM Def, but can also occur while the program is running. These types INI errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while RAM Def is running. Here are some of the most common system.ini runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Users\Tester\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows\system.ini

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most INI errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your system.ini file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with RAM Def), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, system.ini file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading RAM Def, system crash while loading or saving system.ini, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve system.ini problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download system.ini Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying system.ini to your appropriate Windows system directory. VSTEf research & development typically does not release RAM Def INI files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing system.ini and all other INI files for RAM Def. An incorrectly installed INI file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
