New developments in computer technology are helping computer users to accomplish more than ever before. Our operating systems and applications work faster, do new things, and are more user-friendly. However, at the same time, there is one area where issues of common computer users continue to be ignored and this happens to be annoying computer error messages and their indecipherable codes.
Error messages are comprised of numbers and characters that are difficult to understand and troubleshoot. Your computer screen may display words like Run-time error 75: Path/ File access error, error 619 or c0000221 error which can confuse you. However, if you have time and inclination, you can use the services of any online library of error codes to understand the cause of the problem and try to troubleshoot and fix runtime error and other computer errors.
The easiest way out for a common computer user is to follow the tips listed below to prevent these annoying PC errors:
1.Your PC is your castle, protect it Oftentimes your computer encounters problems and errors when it comes in contact with external threats such as attacks from malicious software, such as viruses, spyware, and Trojans or malicious people we know as hackers. In addition to causing serious problems, such as system crashes and stop errors, these attackers can steal and misuse information residing on your computer. To combat these threats, you need to equip your PC with the following protection tools:
Anti-virus
Anti-spyware
You need to select a reliable anti-virus and anti-spyware tool in order to ensure smooth PC performance. These tools work silently in the background and protect your computer from potential security threats. These tools detect these threats and eliminate them efficiently. To get the best out of these tools, you need to:
Keep the real-time protection always ON
Keep the tools updated so that they can recognize and counter the latest threats
Run complete scans on your system at frequent intervals.
In addition to these tools, it is highly recommended that you install a Firewall, especially, if your PC is connected to the internet.
2.Keep your Windows Registry in Good Health The Windows Registry is like the central nervous system that stores in itself a database of configuration and settings information of your operating system, applications, programs and hardware. Often a windows registry bloats up to a huge size due to non-maintenance and can generate a large number of computer errors. A bloated and damaged registry may also cause slow performance of your computer that may cause frequent stop errors and system crashes.To deal with this potential problem, it is recommended that you scan and repair your Windows registry on regular intervals. The experts do it by manually editing an inbuilt utility called “Regedit” but common users should rely on third party registry tools for maintenance of their Windows Registry.
3.Take care of your Hard DiskCleanliness is very important when it comes to avoiding computer errors. This not only involves keeping your workstation free from dust particles, but more importantly ensuring that your hard disk is uncluttered and defragmented. An unclean hard disk which is cramped for free space has high chances of encountering errors. Your Windows operating system comes with two important utilities which help you take care of your hard disk. These are the Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter tool.You will notice that you encounter a significantly less number of annoying PC errors if you follow the above tips.
