A Solution To Windows 98 And The Blue Screen Of Death
You may be a windows 98 user and have come across the unwanted blue screen. There are chances that you may have come across the blue screen not one but several times. The term blue screen of death is quite synonymous with Windows 98 as this was considered as the most harmful programming error in the Windows 98. The blue screen of death appearing on the Windows 98 computer indicates that the registry files are erroneous.
What is Registry?
The registry is a main component of the windows system. When files get corrupted within it, it causes windows 98 to go a little crazy. The newer Windows compensates for this and doesn’t go into blue screens as much. Of course, if you’re running windows 98 that doesn’t help you much does it?
Windows Registry Cleaner
There is a simple method to fix the errors in the registry. A windows utility cleaner could be easily downloaded from the net which easily fixes the problems in registry files which prevents the blue screen from appearing on the computer. Many kinds of registry cleaner utility software are available. They are different in their working but most of them work efficiently.
It is possible to manually solve the errors in the registry files. But a very important point that one needs to keep in mind while fixing the errors is that registry is a major windows database and deleting any important file could cause all the data to erase from the computer.
Probably the best solution is to download a registry utilities cleaner. These programs are quite easy to find, you just need to do a quick Google search and you’ll find that lots of options come up.
How to use a Registry Cleaner in Windows 98?
It is very simple to use the windows registry cleaner. Just the program needs to be downloaded and then run. Almost all of the registry cleaners present the number of errors found and an option to solve them. One must always create backup of registry before fixing the errors through the program so that in case some of the registry files go missing, they could be put back in place.
What if You Still Get Blue Screens
There may be instances when one still gets a blue screen appearing on the computer even after repairing the registry files, which indicates some other problem. To sort out this, you need to think as what caused the blue screen to appear at first place. Installation of new hardware or software may also cause the blue screen to appear. If this is the reason, then that particular device driver must be uninstalled and not used and some other driver may be installed.
The hardware may be at fault in such a case if you have not done anything else or installed new software. There may be a bad memory case which means that addition of more memory is necessary. The hard disk may be falling in this case. Many types of hard disk scanning programs are on the internet which could be downloaded and they determine if the hard disk is falling.
Generally speaking though most windows 98 and blue screen of death problems occur because of corrupt registry files, so once you have run a registry cleaner, the problem should clear up.
