Driver
Error
A disabled driver and s driver error
can affect your computer and how well it runs. If you find
yourself faced with numerous driver errors or a computer
that is not running at its best, chances are your computer’s
registry needs to be cleaned up.
The reason a driver error can occur
within the registry is because the registry stores
information about your devices and their related drivers.
However, the registry is far from perfect, it can contain
entries relating to disabled devices and other erroneous
information. When this happens, Windows gets down to
business, loading drivers it doesn’t need which in turn can
conflict with the real driver you need and cause driver
errors.
A huge amount of registry entries and
combinations of settings – correct and incorrect - exist
that can send Windows into a state of confusion. As a
result, your computer can slow down significantly, freeze
up, crash, and generate computer errors including driver
errors.
One way to troubleshoot driver errors
is by going into Device Manager. You can access Device
Manager in Windows XP by going to the Control Panel,
choosing System, and clicking on the Hardware tab. Next,
click on the button that says, “Device Manager”. A listing
of your hardware will display.
Find the appropriate device and
right-click on it. Choose Properties.
Under Device Status you’ll see the
current state of the device. If you are getting driver
errors, you will likely see a message saying that the device
is not functioning properly.
If so, click on the Troubleshoot button
and follow the prompts.
If you are still getting driver errors
afterwards, the problem is likely in the Windows registry.
If so, use a registry cleaning tool to clean it out. Trying
to manually edit the registry is NOT recommended as the risk
of registry editing is not worth the hassle. In fact,
Microsoft even warns users to do so at their own risk.
Registry cleaning software utilities
are inexpensive and they work wonders. One of the easiest
ones to use that yields fantastic results is RegCure from
ParetoLogic Software. Just because it’s inexpensive doesn’t
