Sometimes when I open up Yahoo Messenger I get an error pop up saying that C++ encountered an error and had to close in unique way and says i need to contact the support of the messenger. What happened?

actually, no, C++ is not Visual BASIC.  Visual BASIC is its own language, as is C++.  However, the MS version of C++, called Visual C++ can depend on libraries on the computer.  if certain libraries arent present, then certain applications can return errors related to that.

there are also virtual function calls, which are functions which don't execute in the same way as a normal exe.  instead, it calls on resources, libraries i think, to perform a function in a sort of abstract manner, kind of like writing code as the program is executed.  its hard to explain, but there hav been a few issues with FSX on that sort of thing.
