With the varied number of computer hardware available in the market, it is easy for computer applications to have errors that are often perplexing and quite often irritating. While complex errors may require the intervention of a specialist, some simple errors can be easily fixed by the novice computer user. With some amount of experience, one can easily get rid of system errors that can be solved within a few minutes. However, before embarking on setting the system straight, you need to ensure that help is close by in case things go very bad. However, the fear of failure is no excuse to stop learning a few tricks! Perhaps the most common types of errors that appear in an application are errors related to the functioning of DLLs, or Dynamic Link Libraries. They are files that are used by applications to optimize performance. Unfortunately, they may crash due to various reasons. When a DLL crashes, it often causes the related application to behave strangely, or worse, it may take down the whole application with it. There are many DLL error fixes that are available on the Internet and you can use them with some success. However, you need to be careful messing around with DLLs. In severe cases, you may need to reformat your machine. So ensure that you have backed up your data. DLL errors may be simple or quite complex. Simple errors are more irritating than dangerous and often display messages that can be quite irksome. Complex DLL errors cause your system to freeze and may not allow you to restart the machine. In such a situation, you may lose your work and the efforts needed to set right your machine may interrupt your work for many hours. There are also some DLL malfunctions that can erase critical data from your system. Many of these errors may be avoided if you are careful about the type of application that you install in your machine. In the event that you are compelled to install unknown applications, ensure that you have installed an efficient registry cleaner and antivirus software tools that can prevent such errors to a certain extent.

The speed in which a computer performs its tasks is very important to computer users. In fact, speed is probably one of the deciding factors when purchasing a computer unit. However, typical usage may eventually slow down a computer’s performance. Downloading of numerous files, performance of several upgrades, and piling up of needless and superfluous data can clog up a computer’s system and cause it to perform at a glacial pace. You can usually note the slow down in your computer when it takes a longer time for programs to load, when the system doesn’t start as quickly as before, or when Internet access is unusually sluggish. To restore your computer to its optimum performance, there is a need to remove the useless data that have heaped up. There are several ways of doing this. Discard outdated data in the registry. A windows registry contains all installed system software and hardware’s essential configuration information. Some of these configuration information are added or removed whenever any software or hardware is installed or uninstalled. And when a software or hardware is not uninstalled properly, there is a surplus of leftover information which distends the size of the registry and slows down the computer performance. Thus, it is important to discard these leftover data. This can be done through the use of a superior registry cleaner tool which will remove all unnecessary data, consolidate scattered files, and repair erroneous entries. Discard outdated data in the hard disk. A computer’s hard disk is where all essential information, such as the operating system and devices are stored. Regardless of size, a hard disk can get loaded in no time forcing the computer’s system to work within an insufficient space. It is important, therefore, to regularly clean up your hard disk. This can be done in several ways. You can make a habit out of clearing out the Recycle Bin. This might be the most effortless action to do, but it can free up the most space in the hard disk in no time. You can also perform a disk cleanup. Access the Disk Cleanup tool by clicking on Start, Programs, Accessories, System, Tools, and then Disk Cleanup. From the Disk Cleanup screen, click on...
