How to Fix Windows Registry Errors

 


The world which we are living in changed a lot due to the development of computers. We do almost everything with computers today. Have you ever encounter a “shut down” when you are making panic purchase of a boot on sale? And the PC freezes while your car is about to touch the finish line in the game? These annoying problems are due to Windows registry errors.

 

 

What are Windows Registry Errors?

 

The Windows registry is a large database that contains the settings and configurations for hardware, programs and applications running on your computer. Every setting that we do to the PC is saved into the Registry. For example the Windows sound volume setting or the interface appearance adjustments. The “Blue Screen of Death” is the most common type of registry error.

You can use an automatic fix program. I recommend Smartpcfixer to you.

Method B:


 

  • Back up your entire registry by either exporting it to another file name or saving it to an external device, such as a USB flash drive, external hard drive or a CD. Hopefully you won’t need this, but it’s better to be safe.
  • Set a system restore point in either Windows XP or Vista. This allows you to go back to a stable system that existed before you edited the registry.
  • Click on “Start” and type “Regedit” in the run field, or in Vista, click on “Run” and then enter “Regedit.” This brings up your registry editor.
  • Know specifically what you need to change. The Windows registry is huge and navigating it line-by-line is almost impossible. You can also search the registry for specific keywords related to your problem.
  • Select the area you need to edit from the left pane of the editor. Lines of code will appear in the right pane, where you are able to make your changes. Be careful not to make a mistake.
  • Save your changes. Close the editor and reboot. Any changes you made will become effective during the boot-up process.
