Repairing Windows Errors - A Simple Solution -By Jeff Wilson

For any average PC user, Microsoft Windows is usually as much a part of life as bread and jam. Unfortunately, wherever there is Windows, there will be Windows errors. Carla Headley, 27, who runs an online flower boutique, says she is so annoyed with constant computer errors that she has almost made up her mind to dump MS altogether and switch to Linux. "Ease of use is a huge factor that has made me stick to Windows, but I have had it up to my back teeth with Windows errors," she fumes.

Happily, not all of us have reached the last straw yet. Repairing computer errors is still a viable option, and the most wonderful news is that you can actually do it without spending tedious time on the phone with customer support or running to a PC mechanic. How? We'll get there soon enough.

The thing about PC errors is that few users know what they mean, exactly. Mitch Doherty, who runs an Internet forum for ordinary PC users, says most of the threads on his forum deal with unexplained (and inexplicable) Windows errors that not even the customer support staff at Windows can give adequate reasons for. "There are hundred of posts about how certain errors keep coming back even after a complete reinstall," he says.

For Carla, learning the numerous error codes proved beyond her capabilities. "I downloaded a tool that I thought would help me decipher what the various error messages meant, but all I got was rogue software that worsened my problems," she says. And that is a grave problem indeed. You don't want to download tools that will actually infect your PC with spyware, generating a whole blizzard of errors.

So the solution obviously needs to be sought elsewhere. And in my experience, a very good way to minimize PC errors is to regularly clean Windows Registry. By regularly, I mean at least once a month. And that is what I had alluded to earlier in this article. As all of you who have read my previous articles know (there's no place for you here if you haven't! Ok, joke), the Registry is the heart and soul of your PC, and all Windows errors have their roots here.

For instance, for those who constantly download and install new applications, 'uninstall errors' are an intrinsic part of life. These appear when an application that you have downloaded is either not accompanied by the right uninstall instructions, or the files that will run the uninstall process have been lost among the garbage cluttering the Registry. In either case, you need to clean it out thoroughly for the errors to disappear.

And the best way to clean Windows Registry is to use a safe, efficient, and freely downloaded Registry cleaning tool like RegCure, which I have used and found highly satisfactory (for free download see info below). Why cramp your PC's style when all it takes is five minutes every month to clean Registry and repair Windows errors?
