An Easy Way to Stop Computer Errors

Computer errors are extremely annoying, preventing you from being able to do a variety of things on your computer without having the constant threat of a computer crash / error ruining it all. This is a big problem for gamers and people who a lot of work on their computers (like me) but is actually pretty easy to fix...

Although they stop your programs from running and make you lost unsaved work & games, computer errors are actually harmless to your computer. The errors themselves are simply messages from your computer, telling you that something is wrong and you need to fix it, because Windows can't. Errors come in all shapes and sizes, and can spring up for an unlimited amount of reasons, but there's one part of your computer which causes 99% of them. And if you can fix this part of your computer, you will actually be able to stop almost all the errors n your PC.

Most computer errors are actually caused by a part of your system called the 'registry'. This is the central database for Windows which stores all the settings and options for your computer, allowing it to "remember" many different things when it turns off and back on again. It's a very important database which acts as the command center for your system, allowing it to run many different applications with a variety of different settings.

The problem with this database is that since it's being used so much, Windows often gets confused and saves parts of it wrong. This means that the next time Windows needs to use it, your computer ends up taking a lot longer to try and decipher what the file is trying to say. This slows your computer down a little, but if your computer can't read the files it needs, it actually raises errors telling you to fix them. And because the registry database is so huge, thousands of different errors can be created there.

Luckily, there's an easy way to fix this problem. You just need to use a program called a 'registry cleaner' which scans through every registry file and fixes all the problematic ones that it finds. It's surprising how much better your computer runs after using one of these tools, because they are really easy to use. You just need to download them, install them and then click on "Scan Now" to make them remove all the errors from your PC.

Using a registry cleaner will actually remove most of the errors on your PC. Especially if you use a good cleaner such as RegAce.
