abnormal program termination

What is an runtime error, abnormal program termination?
see , when your program i.e., (a process in execution)is getting loaded or when it's up and runnin then this is known as dynamic behaviour of the program..


rather when you compile the program it is got compiled,


but once the program is made to run(after compilation or build ) it s executed and that is aptly termed as dynamic program...








so when an error is encountered during the program's runtime (that is wen it's gettin executed) that is termed as runtime error...


for your roller you may need to reinstall the game again or try gettin a new copy of the same application...


clear??





then once you click the Quit button in the game then you are terminating the game(perhaps an application ) deliberately.. hence it is normal termination .





here comes it , in your roller coast since your program is improperly initialized n then since it's encountered an error , we (or then the application (game ) builder has no way terminating the game rather ................ so it's abnormal termination..





Whether its a roller coast or any application it is basically a computer program.... and once you are executing it , it becomes a process then...





aint i up to your question?
Reply:Ah.....Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 must be written in C++, then...





Well, several things can happen to create this error:


-An internal error (such as a bad resource, bad pointer, etc.)


-A call to macro assert(cond) through assert.h


AND THE MOST LIKELY:


-A call to function abort() creates this EXACT message.





Most likely, the problem isn't you. Check to see that your PC is compatible, then try reinstalling it. If you find that the game wasn't designed for your system, it will be of no use to you then. Just uninstall it, and try another system.
Reply:Could be just about anything. I would start by updating your video card drivers, since they are usually the cause of game crashes, in my experience.





Make sure your hardware is supported by the game.
