What are OPEN.MID Error Messages?


General OPEN.MID Runtime Errors

OPEN.MID file errors often occur during the startup phase of Age of Empires II, but can also occur while the program is running. These types MID errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Age of Empires II is running. Here are some of the most common OPEN.MID runtime errors:

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.

Most MID errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your OPEN.MID file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Age of Empires II), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, OPEN.MID file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Age of Empires II, system crash while loading or saving OPEN.MID, 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.

Download OPEN.MID Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying OPEN.MID to your appropriate Windows system directory. Ensemble Studios typically does not release Age of Empires II MID 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 OPEN.MID and all other MID files for Age of Empires II. An incorrectly installed MID file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
