Maybe not enough RAM or memory to access it. It help if you post all the information you had at hand.
Operating system
Program
Ram, hard drive space..
And anything relevant.

J.H.C. on a bicycle could you get more vague?

a runtime error is ANYTHING bad that happens when a program is being run, it can be corrupt files,m incompatable files, not properly configured drivers, not properly configured programs, missing a required component, missing a required system library, running the wrong version of windows.

it could be anything at all
