  running on your computer.
• Make sure that QBW.EXE is not running and then

• Now press Ctrl key on the keyboard and hold that
  down and click Open.

  from the No Company Open Screen.
• Keep the Alt key pressed and click open to launch
  your QB company file.
• This step generally opens your company file.
  Though, it keeps any other windows from opening.

• Solution 4 Rename QBW.INI File

• If none of the above solutions work, then you
  should try to rename the QBW.INI file in order to
  get rid of the Runtime error.
• Use Windows file search tool to find the file on
  your computer (or locate that by manually
  navigating to the location of the file).
• After locating QBW.INI, do a right-click and
  select rename.
• QuickBooks recommends changing the name of
  the file to .OLD extension, thus your file should
  be QBW.OLD.
• Now save the changes by pressing Enter on the
  keyboard.

Go ahead and launch QuickBooks like you normally
would after renaming the QBW file. Hopefully, the
new file extension will resolve the Runtime
error, allowing you to once again access and use
your QuickBooks software.
