What is a Buffer Overrun C++ Runtime Library?
A buffer overrun is a common kind of error that can happen to a program... usually one that is not coded well or that is having a compatibility issue with your computer.





The buffer is a space in the programs code.


Imagine if the space is only supposed to hold 5 numbers.


Now imagine the program generated 100 numbers.


If the programmer did not program a way for the program to handle this extra data.. the program will report a buffer overrun.





Did I explain that in simple enough way for you? If not, email me and I will write more.





Basically, what would concern me is the program itself... is this fiesta.bin thing a known program and where did you get it from. Because ANY program that is good can be re-wrapped with bad code which is better known as a virus.





If you are concerned.... scan the program with an up to date virus scanner. If the problem continues you may want to try re-installing it and/or contacting the technical support of the manufacturer of the program. They will usually have an FAQ page with known issues. You may just need a patch that they may have on their website. :)





Good Luck!

got your email. If you don't have antivirus or firewall.. I wouldn't be going on line. period. Windows has a built in firewall you can use... and you could get a freeware antivirus solution like AVG but I don't recommend freeware. The error message, as I said, really has nothing to do with viruses (in general) so will it happen again? Probably.. if it is poorly coded or a compatibility issue. If it's a virus you are already hung... ya know? 'cause you've already run it. so if it was a virus you would already be infected. I would suggest you at least get a freeware solution, scan using an online scanner http://housecall65.trendmicro.com and turn on windows firewall. :) ps. glad I explained it good :D
Reply:I read about this issue and it seems its a problem with the game software. Although like the other person said, you should have a firewall and virus software.


But this particular issue it seems is a game issue and a patch issue.
