If you’ve tried all the above methods but failed to fix error 52 driver in your PC, it may be a hardware or memory issue. In such a case you should contact the developer of the affected program for a possible solution. If it is a memory issue consider rebooting your computer for a temporary fix of the visual error. Rebooting would clear the memory and create additional space. However, if the random access memory (RAM) of your computer does not have minimum capacity required for running the program that is displaying the error or minimum hard drive space for the programs you are running, you will run out of memory very soon again. Your hard drive needs to have at least 100 to 500 MB of free space to overcome memory issues permanently.

You will find many websites offering repairs claimed to be capable of identifying and correcting any runtime error 52 excel macro on your PC which is difficult for the average users to find and fix. As claimed, these cleaners do this automatically by scanning through the systems registry and fixing all of its faults. But I personally feel running a
cleaner is a risk although reputable ones may not harm your system unless there is some other kind of underlying problem. Only those with in-depth knowledge of computers should go to make any change in the registry. Regardless of which registry cleaner you use, make sure that you take a full back up of the registry before you begin scanning so that if something goes wrong due to the clean-up process, you can safely bring back your machine to a point in time before the harm was done.
