I havehine installed autodata version 9 on windows XP machine, and when I double click autodata.exe to start the program it's telling: runtime error 216 at address 004041B2.
Please tell me how I can resolve the problem?

There are several causes for this error, including a virus or Trojan infestation. Therefore, I think you should ensure your system is clean of malware first. I recommend you read this then start a new topic here.
