  • Solve Errors Caused by Corrupt System Files
    System File Corruption Errors Solved S 12/1 Repair Errors Caused by Missing or Corrupt System Files With the information in this article you can: • Find out whether corrupt system files could be causing all your PC problems • Manually replace missing system files using your Windows installation CD • Use System File Checker to repair broken Windows system files • Boost the memory available to Windows File Protection for complete system file protection Missing or corrupt system files can cause many problems when using your PC, from cryptic error messages to mysterious system crashes. If one of the key files needed by Windows has gone missing or become corrupt, you may think that the only way to rectify the situation is to re-install Windows. Fortunately, nothing that drastic is required, as Microsoft have included several tools with Windows that allow you to replace corrupt or missing files with new, fresh copies directly from your Windows installation CD. Now, whenever you find that an important .DLL file has been deleted or copied over, you won’t have to go to the trouble of completely re-installing your system – simply replace the offending file with a new copy. Stefan Johnson: “One missing file can lead to your system becoming unstable and frequently crashing. You may think that the only way to fix the problem is to re-install Windows, but you can easily replace the offending file with a fresh copy from your Windows installation CD.” • Solve errors caused by corrupt system files ...................
