Can someone please explain what a runtime error is?  I've been getting this message every so often the last couple of weeks.  It's titled "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library".  The text states "runtime error.  program C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE.  abnorman program termination".  After clicking OK, I'm returned to my desktop without icons and system tray.  I have to ctrl/alt/delete to reboot.

   I'm using win98SE, IE5.5, and recently upgraded to 128mb ram and installed a burner.  Is this serious or something I can live with (which is what I think it is)?  Or do I get the blame again for doing strange things to my PC and not knowing what it was?

   Thank you for any explanation you can give me.
