  • What is the runtime error? I suggest that you have some RAM problems and need a good clean out of your hard drive

    Start up your PC in safe mode.
    Do an Antivirus and an Antispyware scan.
    Download and run ccleaner.
    You don't say what your operating system is,or how much RAM you have but defragment your harddrive.
    You might also try downloading and running IO Bit Advanced windows care ad see what it suggests, you may have aload of programs trying to run at startup, along those lines you could go into add/remove programs and delete stuff you never use.
    If none of this improves the performance, run hijackthis and post the results for the clever people to analyse.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
