  2. INTRO http://www.felgall.com/ntins37.htm Frequent computer errors are a big menace. They not only waste valuable working time, but may also cause severe damage to your system files and may even leave your system unbootable. There are many types of computer errors. In this article, we are going to shed light on the causes of errors related to DLL, EXE and Driver files and what you can do to prevent these errors.

  3. The big questions. What are DLL files? What do they do? How are common DLL errors fixed? What are exe files? What do they do? How are common exe errors fixed? What are driver files? How are common driver errors fixed?

  4. Use the following information to answer these Qs http://www.felgall.com/ntins37.htm DLL Errors DLL or Dynamic Link Library files are libraries of executable functions and codes that can be loaded and executed dynamically by your Windows operating system and various software applications installed on it to perform specific operations. In other words, DLLs are used to share a particular code or function across multiple applications. There are hundreds of DLLs on your Windows computer and all your hardware and software depend on specific DLLs to perform their operations. Because of this there are many causes of DLL errors. DLL errors may occur if: ·A shared DLL gets deleted by mistake or when you uninstall an application. ·A program install process overwrites a newer DLL version by an older version. ·One or more hardware components malfunction. ·An application accessing the DLL is faulty. ·There are problems within the registry, or your computer is infected with viruses.

  5. Use the following information to answer these Qs http://www.felgall.com/ntins37.htm EXE Errors Exe files, such outlook.exe, svchost.exe, and iexplore.exe, are Windows executable files that are used by Windows to run various applications. EXE errors usually occur due to virus infections. Viruses alter file associations of EXE files in the registry. Due to this, whenever you try to launch a program or run an executable file, you may receive an error message. Example of EXE Error Messages Windows cannot find FileName.exe Windows cannot find ProgramName. Make sure you typed the name correctly

  6. Use the following information to answer these Qs http://www.felgall.com/ntins37.htm Driver Errors Drivers are software modules that are used to establish communication between programs and hardware installed on your system. In Windows, these files are represented by .drv and .sys extensions. Driver errors usually occur due to: ·Outdated driver files. ·Corrupt or missing driver file. ·A driver file that is incompatible with your operating system. ·A faulty device or device driver. ·Problems in device connectivity to the PC. Code 37, code 39, and code 10 error messages commonly occur due to driver problems.

  7. Use the following information to answer these Qs How to Prevent and Fix Computer Errors As you can see, most computer errors occur due to outdated files, virus infections and registry problems. To prevent and repair these errors, you have to fix their cause. Some of the steps that you can take to fix and prevent these errors are:

  8. ·Ensure that you perform correct uninstall (or install) of all applications. In case you are prompted about a shared DLL being removed (or overwritten) ensure that this DLL is not used by any other program on the system. Also, if a DLL is being overwritten, ensure that you are not overwriting a more current version of DLL with an outdated version. ·Keep your PC up-to-date with the latest updates released by your operating system, device drivers, and software manufactures. These updates help you in patching up the security vulnerabilities in the software installed on your PC. Many manufactures provide new features through these updates that help you in improving the performance of your PC. ·Ensure that your antivirus and antispyware software are updated with the latest definitions. Also, run regular scans on your PC to ensure that your PC is free from these infections. ·Keep your registry free from unwanted information. Almost all computer errors are related to the Windows registry in some way or another because the registry comprises the configuration information of all hardware and software installed on your PC. To fix registry problems, you can use a registry cleaner tool. These tools make it easy for you to scan the registry and weed out all unwanted and malicious information from it.

  9. OUTRO Did you know? DOS was one of the three operating systems that could be run on the original IBM PCs (the other two being CP/M86 and USCD-P). Where DOS differed from the other two is that the PCs were supplied with DOS preinstalled. IBM had originally wanted to put CP/M on the PC as it was the most popular microcomputer operating system at the time but Digital Research refused to sign certain agreements prior to discussing the deal which therefore never took place. IBM then approached Microsoft who were supplying the programming language (BASIC) and asked if they could supply an operating system as well. Microsoft purchased a product called QDOS for $US50,000 and it became the basis for the operating system that has been the most popular operating system on PCs ever since they were introduced (Microsoft have sold DOS 7 as Windows 95, 98, SE, and ME depending on which version of their GUI interface it is sold with). Ever since Windows 95 Microsoft has been attempting to shift people from their DOS based operating system onto WindowsNT. Each upgrade since then has been announced to be the last. With Windows 2000 Microsoft renamed NT to use the same naming conventions perhaps in the hope that people will assume that it is the upgrade for DOS. With the introduction of Windows XP home edition, Microsoft say that they have finally abandoned the DOS operating system all together. DOS itself (the kernel) consists of only three files. These are: COMMAND.COM, IO.SYS, and MSDOS.SYS and you can run the DOS operating system with just those three files. The rest of what you get with the operating system are utility programs that perform additional useful tasks and, since Windows 95, an API library that application programs can use to perform common tasks (such as opening and saving files) and which provides a common look and feel to all of the programs that use the API. http://www.felgall.com/ops3.htm
