Windows Error Messages Troubleshooting

Reader Question:
“Hi Wally, I am having problems with Windows Error Messages and wondering how to fix it?” - Nicholas J., USA

Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:

  • Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).
  • Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
  • Step 3 : Click “Repair All” to fix all issues.

Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.

Overview of Windows Error Messages

Nothing else strikes fear into the heart of a computer user like seeing Windows error messages come up when you are trying to do work or play. There are many different causes for Windows error messages and finding the cause of them can allow you to keep your computer working efficiently.

Error messages indicate that there is currently an issue, whether it is with a program, a file, or the operating system. This can be due to improper installation, a virus, or a corrupted file and can indicate a problem of both minor and major importance, depending upon the error message that you get.

By reading the Windows error messages that you receive, you will be able to take action to ensure that you can take care of the problems and get back to normal computer use. Error messages do not have to mean that your computer is going to have to be replaced.

Don’t worry – it just means that you need to give your PC some additional attention to remedy the cause of the Windows error messages to help prevent many different issues in both efficiency and usage.

What Problems are Associated with Error Message?

The effects of Windows error messages have already occurred, in that the messages are describing a problem that has already occurred. If they are left without attention, the problem can be exacerbated.

From causing the download speed to decrease substantially to program or computer shutdowns to computer freezes, Windows error messages are your warning that you need to fix a program on your computer, whether it is the operating system or another program.

Ignoring Windows error messages may be fine for a little while, but if they are a program that you use quite a bit, they can get to the point where you will not be able to work with that program or you can have other issues, including slowdowns, freezing, and more.

Write down any Windows error messages to be sure that you can narrow down where the issue is to get it taken care of in a timely manner. Not having a computer that works efficiently can cost you time and it can cause you to get frustrated while trying to work on your computer.

Is Your PC Healthy?

I always recommend to my readers to regularly use a trusted registry cleaner and optimizer such as WinThruster or CCleaner. Many problems that you encounter can be attributed to a corrupt and bloated registry.

Happy Computing! :)
