kmshell.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Varamozhi: Transliteration Based Malayalam Text Editor errors that occur during "runtime".

Most of these kmshell.exe error messages mean that Varamozhi: Transliteration Based Malayalam Text Editor was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Varamozhi: Transliteration Based Malayalam Text Editor will be unable to start without resolving these errors.
