Windows Errors
The computer is probably one of the biggest technological innovations as it has immensely helped in creating, what we know today as, paperless offices. With the help of a computer, you can keep your financial accounts, store and work on image files, play games, watch movies, listen to music, create animation, and also, browse over the internet. It is a multi-function, multi-purpose unit but it is not bereft of problems. There are plenty of problems that make it frustrating to work on the PC and one of them is the windows errors. There are hundreds and thousands of windows errors but the most prominent of them are:
- Windows fatal errors
- DUN/RAS Error Codes That Have a Number
- Outlook Express Error
- Winsock Error
- Windows Protection Errors
- Windows Explorer Errors
- Windows Installer Errors
- And many more
Understanding the Windows Errors
It is quite difficult to understand why these errors really occur. Some of the windows errors might reflect occasionally while others might reflect after two years or 5 years of using your PC. The most common windows errors are the fatal errors. Normally you will get a message like:
A fatal exception XY has occurred at xxxx:xxxxxxxx
The Windows fatal exception errors have different codes, which are normally returned by the program only when the following situation occurs:
- If the program has encountered any specific type of illegal instruction
- If the program has accidently accessed invalid code or data
- If the privilege level of any particular operation is invalid
In any of the above 3 cases, you will get a message stating the occurrence of windows errors. In a fatal exception error, the exception is normally non-recoverable and hence you will probably have to shut down your PC or re-boot. In certain cases, the solution might even call for formatting of the entire hard drive or the primary partition.
The second most common windows error is the installer error. Some examples of installer errors are as follows:
- 1603: A fatal error occurred during installation.
- 1706: No valid source could be found for product
- 1316: A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file
- 1321: The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file
- 1613: This installation package cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service. You must install a Windows
- service pack that contains a newer version of the Windows Installer service.
The best way to deal with this windows error is to un-install and then re-install. The install error is fairly common and in case you are unable to rectify it, you should contact the company from where you have taken the program.
