System file corruption can cause unpredictable runtime errors.
Autodata utilizes external dynamic link libraries (DLLs) and ActiveX controls (OCX) to render graphics, menus, and database connections. If these files are unregistered within the Windows SysWOW64 directory, the initialization fails.
Right-click on the (or the Code.exe / ADBCD.exe file in the installation folder). Select Properties from the context menu. Navigate to the Compatibility tab. Check the box next to Run this program as an administrator . Click Apply , then click OK . Launch the application to check if the error is resolved. 2. Register the Borland Memory Manager DLL
When Autodata boots, it relies heavily on core Windows components, local database engines (like Borland Database Engine or Interbase), and specific registry paths to verify its licensing and data directories. If Windows 10 blocks access to these components—or if they are missing entirely—the software crashes at this exact memory address.

Before diving into fixes, it is important to understand what you are dealing with. A is not an Autodata-specific error—it is a generic Delphi (the programming language Autodata was originally built on) or C++ runtime error.
