Some error messages are easy to fix - the message 'NTLDR error' is often caused by leaving a floppy disk in the drive at shutdown - older versions of Windows would try to boot from the a:/ drive by default - so removing the offending disk and rebooting will often resolve the problem.

A 404 error while accessing a website often means you've mis-typed the web address or the website is down - check your link or google the website name for a new link as the website may have moved location.

A 502 Bad Gateway error is usually a network error and not a problem with your PC or Internet connection. Try refreshing the page or wait until later and the problem will usually be resolved.

If the errors appear to be related to a virus, it's best to run an anti-virus program. If the errors refer to a missing file, try to install the file.

then you should look for a good windows registry cleaner to fix registry errors.

The Windows Registry is a crucial funtion within Windows. Owing to its complexity, manually removing invalid entries is impractical; this is why a registry cleaner is an essential tool to automate the search for invalid entries, missing file references or broken links within the registry and deleting or correcting them.

So what will a Registry Cleaner Do?

Well, it will scan your PC for all the invalid entries and unwanted files left behind from incomplete uninstalls, updates, deletions, temporary files and mismatched items. Some users believe it also speeds startup and shutdown speeds; this may be due to loading and maintaining less files within the user profile so could lead to faster loading times. Suffice it to say, registry cleaners can usually be relied upon to remove registry problems in the form of useless files and so free up space as well as remove the possibility of duplicated entries causing program execution errors - either way, not a bad thing.

What should you look for in a good Registry Cleaner?

Manually removing a registry file is a risky undertaking. A good registry cleaning program will offer good safety features. First, it should allow you to backup the registry in case of error.

It should be easy to use. Choose a registry cleaner which is easy to navigate and allows you to pick what categories to inspect, rather than total automated repair. This will give you the chance to decide if the entries are actually errors or just regular program files found as 'false positives.' Even the best registry software occasionally does this.

A good registry cleaner will perform a full scan encompasing errors, mismatches, duplications and orphaned entries, repair them automatically and on a regular basis.

A good registry cleaner will offer support, a little help and guidance should always be available from a company that stands behind its product. Good products promote their customer support, often in the form of live chat or phone contacts.

So now your PC is working, what should you do in the future?

Keep the all your software up to date. Ensure you keep your PC operating system updated with the latest patches and fixes.

Keep your PC clean. That means deleting old files and uninstalling unwanted software as well as cleaning the outside of the box!

Avoid dodgy sites which might download spyware or viruses. You know the ones!

Delete cookies, history and temporary files from browsers on a regular basis.

If you don't need it - delete it

Always delete suspicious emails without opening attachments or clicking links - and don't unsubscribe to emails from companies you don't know - you'll just confirm that your email address is valid and get more spam - just set up a spam filter and delete them!
