4 Common Misconceptions About How to Fix Windows Errors -By David Gaines

Wherever there are computer problems, there will be misconceptions about how to fix the problems. The same holds true with how to fix Windows errors. With every error comes a new idea about the error and how you should go about fixing it. Here are four common misconceptions.

#1 DLL Errors are Programming Errors
While we are not sure how this one started, many people believe that all DLL errors are programming errors. They believe the errors are the result of bad programming, missing files, or just faulty updates. Rarely is this true.

TRUTH - The truth is that DLL errors have many causes. Anything could happen between a little power hiccup in your computer, to spyware, to memory problems. Sometimes one program will overwrite a registry file with a file that is incompatible with another program. This is usually more of a compatibility error than programming error.

#2 As Computers Get Older they take Longer to Startup
This misconception is easy to identify its origins. Anyone with a computer can see the validity of this statement, which makes it even harder to convince people that it is not true. Since people can see it with their own eyes and the difference in startup time is substantial, then they think it must be true.

TRUTH - The age of your computer has nothing to do with its startup time. It is a machine and is just as capable to startup with the same speed at five years old as it did when it was brand spanking new.

The real problem lies with computer usage. The longer you have your computer, the more things get added to the startup sequence. Whether you are aware of not, more programs load on your computer at startup but you can shut them off and return your computer to normal.

#3 Anyone Can Fix Windows Errors with Regedit
Not only this one a misconception, is is flat out dangerous as well. This myth comes from the ease of accessing "Regedit." People believe that since anyone can access the program on the computer, anyone can use it to fix registry errors.

TRUTH - There are many functions on your computer that you can easily access if you know the code. Regedit is one of those functions. However, just because you know the code does not mean you should use it. After all, we all can look up the code to make some home explosives but we don't because it is dangerous. Regedit is not that dangerous but we still shouldn't use it.

Regedit is best left to computer gurus and computer programs (and even many PC techs won't take that risk!). Registry cleaners use "regedit" to scan and fix your registry without any risk to your computer.

#4 It takes a lot of Skill to Fix Windows Errors
This is one of those half-truths that everyone likes to use. It takes skill to write a program to fix the errors and it takes lots of skill to manually fix Windows errors. However, it does not take lots of skill to use a program to fix the errors.

TRUTH: Quality PC cleaner software will fix Windows errors in two simple clicks. Everything will be working again in a matter of minutes with no expertise needed.
