What are Handles?? (oi)

[Guest]

Can anyone tell me what handles are? I keep getting "This
program will terminate due to an unhandled error."
messages when I closed a certain program. Also, how would
one go about fixing this? Thanks in advance.

A handle is a pointer to an object ("INFO: Creation and Destruction of File
Objects", http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=120170. That's not what you
are asking about. "Unhandled error" is about coping with an error, not
error objects having no handle.

You are asking about an unhandled error. That means an error occured in the
program but the program doesn't provide code to trap the error so it can
recover gracefully. They might've coded for specific errors but didn't
define a generic error handler to cover those they didn't think of, or their
logic flow omitted the generic error handler routine. You need to talk to
the program's author.

When you get the error, it gives you no clue as to WHAT program forgot to
cope with an error? Does the title of the error window name the program?
