Windows Error Messages Explained

If there is a problem with any part of your PC, you will be alerted by a Windows error message. There are more than 30 of these error codes associated with the devices connected to your computer.

To find out if your system has created a Windows error code, open up your Control Panel folder. From here choose the System folder and finally the Device Manager. You will be now be shown a list of all the devices connected to your PC, divided into categories and sub-categories.

To test to see if any Windows error codes have been generated, click on any of the devices displayed and then choose the Properties icon. Error codes will be listed in the General tab under Device Status.

The more devices you have installed on your computer the more time it will take to find the source of the error message. You will need to go through each device individually and check the status to locate where the error has originated from.

Below are listed some of the most common Windows generated error codes. There are also details of what they mean and how they can be resolved.

Code 1

This error code means that the device is configured incorrectly. It is perhaps the most frequently encountered Windows error code and simply means the device hasn’t been set up properly. The problem could also be that the wrong driver is being accessed or possibly an out of date driver. Click on the tab entitled Driver and press the Update Driver icon. If that fails, using the Device Manager, remove the device and reinstall it by choosing the Add New Hardware tab found in the Control Panel.

Code 3

This error code will be generated when the device driver has become corrupt or when the systems RAM (memory) is running low. To check on your PCs memory, go to my computer and right click the icon. Select properties followed by performance. You should always allow for more than 20% of free RAM. For optimal performance this should increase to at least 40% of the memory free. If the RAM is not causing the problem, try updating your drivers using the guidelines listed under Code 1.

Code 4

This code means a corrupt driver has caused a device to become faulty or perhaps a registry error. The device could have developed a corrupt .INF file, one example being if instead of binary it has text in a particular field. If this is the reason, you need to visit the device manufacturer’s website and download a new .INF file. You can also follow the guidelines for updating a driver listed above under Code 1 errors. If neither of remedies solve the problem, it’s possible that the Windows registry has become damaged. Go to the Start button on the left of your screen and navigate to Run. In the message box that appears type in ‘Scanregw.exe’. This will perform a scan of your registry.

Windows Registry Errors

There are various Windows error codes which are associated with a corrupt registry including:

Code 9. Indicates invalid data on the device registry.

Code 19. States ‘Your registry may be corrupt.

Code 27. The section of the registry which holds information on likely resources does not have the valid values.

If you visit the Microsoft Technical Support website you will find a complete listing of all the Windows error codes.

How To Fix Windows Errors

A Windows error code can mean a device on your PC is faulty, although many error codes can be rectified by using a registry cleaner such as RegCure.

Your registry can become cluttered with out of date or invalid entries, for example old drivers or redundant files and these can cause the system to experience all sorts of errors. Using a registry cleaner is a safe and efficient way of resolving these problems.

5 Ways to Fix Computer Freezes

5 Ways to Fix Computer Freezes

Posted on 17. Dec, 2008 by Jason Biddle, MSCE Certified Tech.

There can be many reasons as to why your PC freezes. It could be because you are running too many applications all at once or perhaps there has been a power surge.

However, today’s computers are built to withstand occurrences such as the occasional fluctuation in electricity supply and with the modern powerful machines there shouldn’t be a problem multitasking either. If you’re computer begins to experience freezes on a regular basis then something is obviously wrong.

The modern Operating Systems such as WinXP are a lot more robust and stable than previous versions. Therefore your computer should not crash completely if your PC freezes. You should simply be able to reboot and continue on with what you were doing.

If this is the first time your computer has frozen, reboot it and pay attention to what happens. If everything appears to be working fine and programs are running normally without the machine freezing, then it’s probably just a glitch.

If however, your computer continues to freeze frequently then you need to take action before permanent damage is caused to the system. It will be necessary to perform some checks to find out what is causing the problem.

Below are the 5 of the most common ways to resolve computer freezes.

1. Check for Viruses

This should be part of your regular maintenance schedule and not just carried out whenever your computer experiences a freeze up. Always remember to update your virus definitions frequently or even better, set the program to update them automatically. Running a scan with old definitions will not be any good at rooting out newer infections.

 

2. Perform an Anti Spyware and Adware Check

You may think you are careful to visit only reputable and trusted websites and just because you don’t get bombarded with pop-ups or advertisements, you are safe from the dangers of spyware and adware. This isn’t always the case. Even reliable websites can have malware embedded either in its pages or in adverts. It’s important to run a spyware and adware removal program regularly to remove any danger of this malicious software causing serious harm to your system or your security. There are many of these programs available to download for free from the Internet, however, take care in choosing one and read the small print carefully. A lot of free software comes embedded with even more malware.

 

3. Check Your Hardware

Sometimes PC freezes can be resolved by something as simple as cleaning your hardware. Check the fan in particular as this is a common area for dust and dirt to gather. Accumulation of grime will cause the cooling system to insufficiently ventilate the CPU, which in turn can cause under performance from your PC and freezes or crashes.

 

4. Is There Enough Free Space on Your Hard Disk?

An overloaded hard disk can also cause your PC to freeze up as there is insufficient space for processing information. It’s necessary to keep a least 20% of your hard disk free.

 

5. Remove Clutter from Your Windows Registry

With regular use of your computer, the Windows registry will soon become over filled with old and redundant data. File fragments left over from uninstalled programs, orphaned and replicated files, all serve no purpose and will only cause your PC to work harder to locate what it is looking for. This can cause severe lagging and freezes. To remove this obsolete data it will be necessary to run a reliable registry cleaner such as RegCure. RegCure will automatically locate and remove any such files from the registry, resulting in a faster, more efficient performance from your PC.

It is always wise to carry out the above tasks as part of a regular maintenance schedule to keep your PC in good health. Do not wait until you are experiencing freezes or other problems before taking care of your PC.

Top 3 Fixes for Windows Media Player

Top 3 Fixes for Windows Media Player

Posted on 17. Dec, 2008 by Jason Biddle, MSCE Certified Tech.

0

When rectifying problems with Windows Media Player sometimes it will be necessary to identify the exact cause as many of the error messages are generic.

Below are three of the most common error messages displayed by Windows Media Player and what you can do to resolve the problem.

1. Unknown Error

This error code is one of the general error messages. The usual cause of it is when Windows Media Player is using another program or part of your PC which has encountered a problem. If that component or application does not transmit the reason for the error to Windows Media Player, then this message will be shown.

Solution:

If you previously tried running a program before this message occurred, it is possible this is the problem. It may be a fault with the program itself or a file or driver belonging to it. Reinstall the program but before doing so run a registry cleaner to ensure all file fragments relating to the program are deleted.

Another solution to this is by reporting the error to Microsoft. They reply to questions every Friday, so be sure to check their website to see if a solution has been found. Before submitting an error, browse through the archives to check if a similar error has previously been reported. It may be necessary to try out several solutions before finding a fix.

An additional source of error solutions can be found by visiting a newsgroup or forum which focuses on Windows Media Player issues. In your post remember to mention which version of the player you are using and any other information relative to the problem. Usually these sites can be a great source of information but be careful before making any changes to your PC.
.

2. Interface Not Registered

This message is usually encountered when burning disks such as CDs or DVDs and means the Windows Media Player is using files which aren’t registered with your Windows system.

Solution:

It will be necessary to reinstall your Windows Media Player, either your current version or an updated one if it is available. This should repair the registry settings. Your files stored in the media library should not be affected by the reinstall but if you are worried, make a back up before proceeding.

3. Error C00D0FAA

Receiving this error code will mean you are having problems ripping disks such as CDs to mp3 files. This is predominantly a Version 10 issue and is caused by corrupt settings in the Windows Registry.

Solution:

A simple solution to this problem is changing the audio quality settings for ripping disks. It has its limitations though as you will not be able to create mp3 files using 128kbps. To try this remedy in WMP version 10:

Windows Media Player – Tools – Options – Rip Music. In the settings option, change the audio quality to anything other than 128kbps.

A slightly more complicated solution to this error is by deleting the value of the registry entry ‘LowRateSample’. This should enable you to rip at 128kbps. A word of warning – making any changes in the Windows Registry is extremely risky and you may cause serious damage to your PC. Before you begin, make sure to back up any important data. Use the Windows Help feature for more information on backing up and restoring the Windows Registry. Step by step advice on using the Registry Editor can be found at the Microsoft technical support website.

How to Fix Media Player Errors in One Click

The best and safest solution to this problem is to use a reliable registry repair tool such as RegCure.

All three of the remedies listed above involve repairing the Windows Registry; however, using a registry cleaner will do the job for you and do it safely.

If you’ve ever made any changes to your Windows Media Player, then chances are you will have redundant or missing files in your Windows Registry. RegCure can fix all these issues and will even back up your Windows Registry files, saving you the trouble of doing it manually.

Fixing the Windows Blue Screen Problem

Fixing the Windows Blue Screen Problem

Posted on 17. Dec, 2008 by Jason Biddle, MSCE Certified Tech.

All computer users will at some time or another have encountered a system crash and the Windows Blue Screen of Death. Not all users however will be aware of what this is or how it can affect their computer.

What is The Windows Blue Screen of Death?

The Blue Screen of Death is when you lose all data on your monitor and are left with nothing but a blue screen visible. This is displayed by the Windows Operating System after a critical system error has occurred. These can happen because of a corrupt registry, faulty device drivers, bad memory or incompatible DLLs.

These Blue screen errors have existed in all Windows Operating Systems since version 3.1. Previous editions OS/2 and MS-DOS had a similar Black Screen of Death. Some of the new Windows Vista beta versions display the Red Screen of Death after a boot up error.

This Red Screen of Death error message was dropped in the version Beta 1 (build 5112) of Windows Vista for all errors excluding boot loading errors. It can also be found although extremely rarely in some versions of the Windows 98 Operating System.

How To Fix and Prevent Windows Blue Screen

If you ever experience the Blue Screen of Death, it’s important to write down any error codes or messages displayed as these will help in finding out exactly what the problem was and why it occurred.

If you find these blue screens happening just after you have installed new hardware or software, then chances are this is the reason for it occurring. Try removing the item and reinstalling to see if the problem has been resolved.

If not and the issue persists, it may be necessary to run a third party repair tool that can eliminate these errors and restore your computer to normal. These tools can also enhance the performance of your PC.

Causes of Computer Crashes

Causes of Computer Crashes

It’s tempting to press the reset button whenever your computer freezes and although this is OK every once in a while, it’s not recommended as an alternative to finding a solution to the problem. It’s important that you as a user should have the knowledge of what to do if your PC freezes and how to go about rectifying the problem.

There can be many reasons as to why your PC has suddenly frozen up whilst you were in the midst of doing something. Each cause will have its own solution. Below are the most common explanations for a computer crash.

Hardware conflict
• Failure of internal circuit
Incompatible drivers
• Spyware or Adware running on your system
Memory fragmented
• Background programs running
Bugs or glitches in the operating system

Hardware Conflicts

If a hardware conflict is the reason for your computer crashing this is easily resolved by replacing the necessary components. It’s important the new items are compatible with existing hardware. A common cause of issues with hardware is general wear and tear, conflict and mismatch.

Too Many Programs Running

If you have lots of programs running at once, including those running in the background, it is wise to close down all but those you currently need. This will free up memory and allow those applications you do need to run smoothly. Your computer can only carry out a limited number of tasks at the one time before its efficiency diminishes.

Spyware And Adware

Malicious spyware and adware running on your machine will use up valuable resources and cause your PC to perform slowly and eventually crash. It’s vital to have the correct anti-spyware software installed to counteract the dangers presented to security by these pests.

Windows Registry Problems

Any concerns with the Windows registry should also be addressed. The registry is a crucial part of any operating system as it is necessary for the booting up and loading of any installed programs. The registry stores information on the configuration and settings of all hardware and software components and will advise Windows on specifics such as which drivers to load and where resources should be allocated. If the registry is overloaded with obsolete and redundant data your computer will take much longer than necessary to process the information needed.

Each time you install or uninstall applications or software on your PC, data will get left behind. This unnecessary information will overload the registry causing Windows to take extended periods of time to search for and locate any registry values. This is the most common reason for your computer becoming unstable and crashing.

Clean Your Registry and Prevent Crashes

The Windows registry can be cleaned and repaired using a piece of software called a registry cleaner. This will scan your computer and delete any obsolete files from the registry. This in turn will free up space in the registry, helping your PC run faster, boot up much quicker and load up programs swiftly and efficiently.

How to Fix ActiveX Errors

How to Fix ActiveX Errors

Posted on 17. Dec, 2008 by Jason Biddle, MSCE Certified Tech.

0

The majority of computer users will not experience ActiveX errors very often. They’re certainly nowhere near as common as exe, dll or any other Internet Explorer or Windows errors. Even so, users should be aware of ActiveX errors and the part they play in security issues which may be encountered.

What is ActiveX?

Active X was developed and trademarked by Microsoft and is a feature whereby a code is installed on to your PC by certain websites so features can be accessed or viewed.

This small piece of programming downloads automatically and goes by the name of an ActiveX control. Once downloaded, it becomes a component of your Operating System. This is the primary reason why Active X controls give cause for concern.

History of ActiveX

ActiveX controls are not a new development. They have been around a long time in the more devious side of the Internet, whereby they have been used to download spyware, adware and other types of malware on to your computer.

Active X was trademarked by the Microsoft Corporation in 1996; however it first appeared in 1990 when it came under the name Object Linking and Embedding or OLE. ActiveX is used today by web designers to enable multimedia features to be embedded into websites.

What Program does ActiveX Affect?

A typical example of when an ActiveX control installs itself is when you want to read a PDF file which is part of a webpage. As Internet Explorer cannot open PDFs, it needs to use an ActiveX control supplied by Adobe, the makers of PDF files. Flash graphics which can be found on many websites also use Active X controls.

It’s possible to still encounter ActiveX controls even if you aren’t a regular Internet user. For example the spellchecker feature of Microsoft Word can be accessed in Outlook because ActiveX controls allow the programs to communicate with each other. Other programs which allow similar ActiveX interaction may also use the Microsoft Word spellchecker function.

Why ActiveX Causes Your PC Problems

A downside of Active X is that it is also used by unscrupulous designers to install spyware and adware on your PC, and even to allow other malware to download itself on to your Operating System.

ActiveX errors can be a problem to deal with as the error message generated on screen may not indicate that it is in fact an ActiveX control causing the issue. Sometimes this is only discovered by a process of elimination.

ActiveX Errors Try to Hide!

The message you receive may indicate the error as belonging to something else such as Internet Explorer, making you believe there is a problem with your browser. This can be annoying as the same message can be generated when it is actually an Active X issue at fault.

The same thing can occur with spyware and adware. The ActiveX controls embedded in your computer may generate a Windows error message identifying a completely different problem.

How to Fix ActiveX Errors

The best and easiest way to resolve issues caused by ActiveX errors is to use a reliable registry cleaner such as RegCure, which will deal with these problems quickly and efficiently.

How to Fix “Program Not Responding” Errors

How to Fix “Program Not Responding” Errors

Posted on 17. Dec, 2008 by Jason Biddle, MSCE Certified Tech.

0

If you experience a Program Not Responding error message whilst using your PC this doesn’t always mean that there is actually a problem with the program you are using. These error messages can sometimes be triggered by a faulty device driver or a defect with an item of hardware.

Some of the most common reasons for receiving a Program not Responding error message can include:

• Too many applications running simultaneously

• Not enough RAM installed to cope with the programs running

• The program may not be configured correctly or is corrupted

• Your PC may be infected with a virus

• The data stored on your hard disk is too scattered

• A device driver may not be working correctly or is corrupted

• Your computer may be overheating

To reduce the chances of a Program not Responding message appearing on your screen, follow the tips below.

Use Task Manager

Pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL simultaneously will bring up on screen a device called the Task Manager. This will generate a list of all programs currently running on your PC. Occasionally an uninvited program will install itself on your computer, perhaps after a visit to an unreputable website. This may have caused your PC to become unstable and generate the Program not Responding error. If any such program is found running in the background, highlight it and select end program.

You can also try going to the Start button and selecting Run. In the box which appears type in msconfig. Uncheck the box that loads up applications on Start-up and reboot your machine. If this fails, run a Spyware or Adware removal tool.

Scan for Viruses

If you are experiencing frequent error messages then it is advisable to run a virus scan. Run a scan on the faulty program first as it may contain malware, especially if it is a free download from the internet. Malware may also have installed itself on your PC. It is wise to carry out regular full scans of your system. Don’t forget to keep your anti virus definitions up to date as new viruses find their way into existence every day.

Check System Resources are Sufficient

It’s important to allow enough free space on your hard disk and sufficient memory (RAM) to allow your PC to carry out any task you require. Free up space on your hard drive by deleting unnecessary files in the IE cache and in the Windows Temporary folders. Empty out any files in the recycle bin. It is recommended you use no more than 80% of RAM at any particular time.

Use the system tools preloaded in Windows to scan, clean and defrag the hard drive. Install any Windows Updates as they become available.

Clean the Registry

With everyday use the Windows registry will soon become overloaded with file fragments left over after installing or removing hardware and software and orphaned files from other applications.

It’s possible a Program not Responding error has been generated because the registry is cluttered with many corrupt or redundant files making the system unable to distinguish between current and out of date files.

It is not recommended you try to fix registry errors by yourself manually. Unless you are skilled in this area you run the risk of causing severe damage to your system.

The safest way to clean your Windows registry is to use a reputable registry cleaner such as RegCure. This will automatically scan your registry, locating redundant files and removing them.

A good registry cleaner will not only resolve Program not Responding messages but also deal with any other errors your PC may be experiencing.

EXE Errors – Why They Happen and How to Fix Them

EXE Errors – Why They Happen and How to Fix Them

Posted on 17. Dec, 2008 by Jason Biddle, MSCE Certified Tech.

The ‘exe’ extension on a file means it is an executable file. If you double click on this type of file it will run a program. You will find .exe files in Microsoft Windows, OS/2 and in MS-DOS operating systems and they began in MS-DOS version 2. These .exe files are powerful, much more so than their predecessors .com files. They also generate many common .exe errors.

The older type of executable files .com were less than 64 KiB (1 KiB = 1,024 bytes). This is such a small size that it’s rarely used or heard of these days. It had no relocation information therefore it had only a single segment of code.

The .exe file does have relocation information which allows for the running of multiple code segments. These can be loaded anywhere on the hard disk. The .exe files, being much larger than .com files, are able to handle computer programs of a far greater size.

Unfortunately .exe files are capable of causing much more problems than their predecessors. Some of the most common computer errors you are likely to experience are usually .exe errors.

Possibly the reason .exe errors are so prevalent is because this type of file is a very popular format. It’s relatively small in size and is simple and easy to run, just by clicking on it. Programs can be installed quickly and effortlessly on your PC.

Common Causes of .EXE Errors

In your time as a computer user you may have experienced .exe errors such as ‘Cannot find the file Win32sys.exe’ or ‘IExplorer.exe has generated an error’.

If you have, then it’s likely you’ve searched on the Internet for help in dealing with the problem or to find out the cause of it. You’ll no doubt have noticed that there are many different proposed solutions for each Internet Explorer .exe error.

The difficulty in dealing with IE .exe errors is that they may not stem from your Internet Explorer browser at all. It’s possible you may have clicked on something which has written a program to your browser, this is called an add-on and is considered a virtual part of your Internet Explorer.

EXE Errors from Internet Explorer Add-Ons

If there are problems occurring with this add-on software, it will issue the same .exe error messages as you would experience if there were problems with your Internet Explorer browser.

These add-ons can be incorporated into Internet Explorer without you even having necessarily clicked on anything. It’s possible they have originated from Spyware which installed itself on your PC. Spyware can be picked up from free programs which have been downloaded from the Internet or from some websites you may have visited. Spyware can cause .exe errors and will eventually make your computer become sluggish and increase the risks of freezes or system crashes.

Another cause of .exe errors are viruses. Take for example the message ‘Cannot find the file Win32sys.exe’. This can be caused by a virus which is imitating your PCs Win32sys.exe file.

How To Fix EXE Errors

Advice on fixing .exe errors can be provided by visiting Microsoft’s technical help website. Here you will be given a step by step guide to deal with the problem. If you don’t feel confident enough to rectify these issues yourself, you can use a registry cleaner such as RegCure which will deal with the problem quickly and easily.

Chkdsk Errors – All You Need to Know

Chkdsk Errors – All You Need to Know

Posted on 17. Dec, 2008 by Jason Biddle, MSCE Certified Tech.

Chkdsk is a type of check and repair tool similar to Scandisk which searches for problems on your hard drive to rectify system errors. It has it’s limitations in that it doesn’t amend any errors outside of the file system. It is possible for chkdsk errors to occur just by running the tool, if the problem is caused by your hard disk rather than the file system so it’s best not to use the chkdsk facility if you’re unsure what the problem actually is.

 

Chkdsk Test

If your computer prompts you to run a chkdsk test, make sure that it isn’t a hard disk problem that is causing the file system error. If it is a damaged hard disk that’s at fault and you use the chkdsk tool, your data stored on the drive will become fragmented and you will be unable to recover it.

File system errors and hard disk errors have symptoms which are similar, so even if your PC generates a message advising you that there are chkdsk errors and recommending you run the repair utility, don’t always assume it is in fact correct.

The check disk tool may just be misdiagnosing the error and is trying automatically to rectify it. However, this can cause serious damage to your system.

 

If You Are Prompted To Run Chkdsk Utility

If your PC prompts you to run the chkdsk utility, press the Esc key as soon as it starts to boot up. Your computer will then return to loading Windows. Make backup files of your data and burn to a disk.

Earlier versions of the Windows Operating System such as Windows 98 can have the chkdsk automatic repair switched off; however in later versions such as Windows XP, these are automatic. If you go to the Microsoft technical help website there are guidelines on how to disable this automatic repair function.

 

What Causes Chkdsk Errors?

Chkdsk errors can be caused not only by hard disk problems but also by viruses, in particular the Zobot virus and variants of it. Running a scan with your antivirus program should resolve the problem. Make sure you always have the latest definitions of this software installed to keep it up to date with current threats. Computer experts have their own particular favorite brands of antivirus software for dealing with the Zobot virus and you can find these discussed on various technical help forums and message boards on the Internet. It may be necessary to use several different online scanners to rectify the problem.

Chkdsk errors can cause many symptoms on your PC including sluggish performance, freeze ups, lost files and problems with Internet Explorer.

 

Do You Have Missing Files?

Unfortunately if you have already used the chkdsk utility and found you have files missing, there isn’t anything you can now do about it. These files will usually have been irreparable anyway but if they are vital system files, you can resolve the issue by performing a complete reinstall of your Operating System. This will usually get your PC up and running again.

 

How To Repair Chkdsk Errors

Instead of possibly causing more damage by running chkdsk, there is another solution to this problem and that is using a registry cleaner. Computer experts recommend using these cleaning tools whenever chkdsk errors occur.

One of the most reliable and safest registry cleaners available is RegCure. This program will check your system for damaged system files and automatically repair them. It’s much safer to use than any other disk checking tool as it has a feature to back up all files in the unlikely event of anything going wrong.

Sometimes a registry which is clogged up with redundant data can cause your antivirus software to malfunction, making it run slowly, freeze or even crash. If this happens it may not be able to detect any viruses on your system which may be causing the chkdsk errors. After using RegCure to repair problems you can then update your virus definitions and have your antivirus software performing properly again.
