<h1>'Program has caused an error' or 'Error in &lt;gamename&gt;.exe'</h1>

<p>This is a generic <span style="font-style: italic;"><I>Microsoft Windows</I></span> 
 error. These errors happen when the game either makes a request that the 
 computer does not understand or fails to respond with correct data. The 
 computer picks up on this error, but since it is not a specific error, 
 all it can do is give this generic error response.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>When troubleshooting these generic errors, there are several steps you 
 should take.</p>
