How To Troubleshoot Windows Prompt Error Messages

There are some Windows prompts and error screens that do pop up occasionally that restrict the normal and full use of your system. These prompts are due to a variety of reasons, many of which can be resolved if you know where to find the problem origin. 
An error prompt from a Windows system is 'runtime error 216' which occurs commonly when a system is infected by a virus. There are a few things you can do to counter this error. Firstly, update your antivirus program, then disconnect your PC from the internet and any internal networks and start your PC in Safe Mode. You can do this by rebooting your system and pressing F8 before Windows starts up. 

Run a full antivirus scan and dispose of any contaminated files and reported infections. Restart the PC and run the computer in Safe Mode one more times to check that the system is virus-free.


Another common error prompt that users encounter is 'The flash component flash.osx is missing'. This occurs when a required file is either damaged or removed from operation. Another prompt that may pop up because of this problem may say that an application is not able to start because '. framedyn.dll was not found'. 

To counter this problem, update the specific application that is causing the problem, either by updating through a manufacturers' downloads website or updating a driver through using Device Manager. Uninstall the software first, and then reinstall to be certain the missing or corrupted files are accounted for.

In response to other prompts and Windows errors, users can run a routine maintenance schedule that would lessen the chance and prevent unwanted stoppage.

Regularly use Disk Cleanup to scan and delete unused and redundant files and folders off the system. This tool removes such data as out-of-date system restore points, deleted files from an emptied Recycling Bin as well as temporary internet and program files.

Running the Disk Defragmenter to allow the PC to better organize the existing data on the selected hard drive will allow your system to run more effectively. With a reliable registry cleaner program, Windows users are also able to clean and repair registry issues. It may also be beneficial in finding and utilising a quality diagnostic tool will assist in testing current hardware for any problems.
If a PC has numerous applications that auto-load at startup, it may cause possible performance inconsistencies and also create issues with other necessary programs. Delete or disable programs that are not essential to your system.

A regular cleaning schedule can have a big difference on the life of your hardware. Cleaning components and maintaining a dust-free machine reduces the risk of a PC overheating that may cause physical hardware complications and damage.

Update the operating system, device drivers and adjacent programs continually to prevent errors related to out-of-date files creating problems for the system.

In being proactive with PC care, Windows users can get the best from their system for longer without the time cost and hassle of larger repairs in the future.
