Windows – Runtime Error: R6025 — Unable to see location of program causing the error

runtime errorwindowswindows 7

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library, Runtime Error!, Program: C:..., R6025, - pure virtual function call

I've been receiving this error every few days but have no idea what program is causing it. The error window isn't resizable, so I'm not able to see the program's location. Is there some other way I can find out what program is causing this? (*Finding the program location is my main objective, see below for the reasoning,)

It doesn't occur when I've just opened/closed a program (Googling, I noticed other people were getting runtime errors when they would open a program, that's not the case for me), it randomly appears while I'm in the middle of doing something (e.g. browsing on Chrome, editing a video, etc. or even with nothing actively open and just looking at a blank Desktop). Nothing crashes when the error comes up either, all active windows and programs in the system tray stay active.

*:Given how unoften it happens it would be pretty difficult to take suggestions on how to fix the error itself (because I wouldn't be able to simply answer "did it work?" for maybe a week at a time). For now I think I'll just focus on suggestions for finding the specific program that's causing the error, from there I should be able to search and find the solution myself.

Text version of error:

Run ProcessExplorer, use the crosshair from toolbar

and move it to the Error message. This will highlight the program which causes the error message.
