How to Fix Runtime Error 70

1. Disable script debugging in Internet Explorer (IE) if the problem only occurs on one or two websites. To do so, in Internet Explorer 6, select the “Tools” menu followed by “Internet Options,” the “Advanced” menu tab, and choose the option to “Disable script debugging” followed by the “OK” menu button. To disable script debugging in IE 7, choose the “Tools,” menu followed by “Internet Options,” and choose the “Advanced” tab and click the “Display a notification about every script error” box followed by the “OK” menu button.
2. View the web page that is causing the Runtime Error 70 on another computer using an alternative web browser, such as Mozilla Firefox. If there is a script error still on the alternative computer and web browser, the error may be on the server side of the website and not an issue with your computer.
3. Confirm that Active Scripting, Java, and ActiveX are enabled in Internet Explorer. If your security settings have disabled any of the three, you could get the Runtime Error 70 on your computer. To ensure they aren't blocked, choose “Internet Options” from the “Tools” menu. Then select the “Security” tab and choose the “Default Level” option followed by the “OK” menu button.
4. Remove temporary Internet files from your computer to ensure they are not interfering with the websites files. To remove temporary files in IE 6, choose the “Tools” menu followed by “Internet Options,” the “General” tab and select “Settings.” Then, choose “Delete Files,” followed by the “OK” button, “Delete Cookies” followed by “OK,” and under the “History” tab choose the “Clear History” menu option. To remove temporary Internet files when using IE 7 or newer, choose the “Tools” and “Internet Options” menu button. Then, pick the “General” menu tab and under “Browsing History” pick the “delete” menu button followed by answering “yes” on the subsequent dialogue prompt. You will then click “Delete Files” under “Temporary Internet Files” under the “Delete Browsing History.” Pick the “Delete Cookies” menu option under the “Cookies” label and “Delete History” under the history label to finish removing the temporary Internet files.
5. Install the newest Windows service pack and software updates for your version of Internet Explorer located at the URL in the resources below if you are still getting the Runtime Error 70.
