Windows PC users using operating systems from Windows 2000 to Vista will frequently encounter the runtime error r6025 while running a variety of applications.

The r6025 error can impact many popular applications such as: Internet Explorer, MS Messenger, MS Money, Photoshop, and a host of others.
Since the error crops up in so many programs and circumstances, it's practically impossible to target a specific cause or develop a one-size-fits-all approach for identifying its cause, and providing a fis.

NOTE: Error message such as iexplore exe r6025, and runtime error r6025 internet are alerts to the same type of runtime error under a slightly different name.

Generally speaking, a runtime error is caused by programming mistakes and oversights, or by software incompatibilities that arise when new or updated software is installed.

According to Microsoft, the runtime error r6025 results from an incorrect call to a predefined routine.

That definition may be helpful to software development gurus, but it's not very useful for the average user.

A first step for PC users addressing r6025 error issue, would be a Web search using "r6025" along with the application name as the search terms.
The search results will provide many links to helpful forums and blogs discussing the problem and offering potential solutions.

For instance, a Google search using the terms "r6025" and Internet Explorer 6 will yield hundreds of results, as there are many instances of runtime errors when Explorer 6 is matched with Windows XP.

Many instances of the runtime errors can be traced to Windows registry corruption.

If registry corruption is suspected, there are many free and commercial utilities for registry diagnosis and repair.

You might first try one or more of the freeware registry repair utilities.
If the freeware doesn't solve the problem, purchasing one of the fairly inexpensive commercial registry repair programs would be the next step.
The commercial registry utilities are usually more comprehensive than the freeware for diagnosing and repairing the registry.

Reinstallation of offending software is another do-it-yourself approach.

Other causes of the runtime error r6025 could be viruses, worms, spyware, and other malware.

Users should make sure that software to combat malware is installed, up-to-date, and run at regular intervals.

Tracking down all the possible reasons for the runtime error r6025 can be very frustrating and time consuming.
Because the runtime errors occur in such a wide range of situations and impact so many programs, it's difficult to pinpoint causes and solutions a broad spectrum, shotgun-type, approach will probably yield the best results.
