What are cht.ini Error Messages?

General cht.ini Runtime Errors

cht.ini file errors often occur during the startup phase of GOM Player, but can also occur while the program is running. These types INI errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while GOM Player is running. Here are some of the most common cht.ini runtime errors:

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\GRETECH\GOMPlayer\lang\cht.ini

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Most INI errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your cht.ini file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with GOM Player), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, cht.ini file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading GOM Player, system crash while loading or saving cht.ini, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
