Yep:

1. Find out what caused the error window to be triggerd in the first place.
    {See MSKv6.5-man.page: 204-205,217-218,282-283,363-364}

and/or

2. Delete the error-ing Indicator (from the Chart/SmartChart/Layout/Template).
    {See MSKv6.5-man.page: 62-65,81,124-125,128,146}

This, since there is always a valid reason as to "why" the errors are triggered, eg much
the same for like why the OS can+will trigger error messages (friendly+unfriendly,
processor's mem-dumps, illegal operations) of which most that are triggered + displayed,
are to prefent any hardware damages on user's PC.

3. These by the MSK program triggered errors tho, are "friendly" errors, and will
     not damage any hardware.

4. Too, 99.9% of these errors are caused "by user" entering "invalid" references,
    properties and/or coding.

Therefore: 

a. Are errors received plotting errors(see e) or (math) calculation errors(see c+d)?
b. Are you loading enough (historical) data (see p.51) for the period(ic) lengthy Indicators?
c. Is the custom formula (mathematically, division by values minus zero) debugged(see 1, above)?
d. Is the custom formula (mathematically, otherwise plain) debugged(see 1, above)?
e. Does a referenced security, indicator, chart,  layout, template (still) exist
    (with its correct Address or Name) on/in your drive, folder, Indicator Builder?

e is a somewhat devious job to correct, since Equis has not provided for information
windows/messages to be displayed, pointing out that what is obstructing the e reference in detail.

And thus did not include the "making an in detailed IntelliSense suggestion" of :
       -why the referenced was not found
       -what was being referenced
       -what it should be
       -what user can/should do next.
