How to Manage Error 4000

Posted by Kat

It happens when you try to run a program. It really doesn’t matter what the program is, and it’s possible you have been using the program for a while. You try to start up the program and get “Error 4000: WINS encountered an error while processing the command.” Then your computer freezes for a minute. Then things go back to normal, but the program won’t start up.

I have good news, and bad news. The good news is that your problem is a registry error. The bad news is that your problem is a registry error.

What is a Registry Error?

Your registry is the core programming code of your Windows operating system. Registry errors can vary in severity. They can be corrupt files, missing files, empty registry keys, short cuts that point to programs that have been uninstalled, dll errors, even blue screen errors are registry errors.

How to Fix Error 4000

Error4000 can usually be fixed with a little work on your end. Basically what I’m going to do is walk you through a process that acts like taking your computer back in time to a date before you had the problem. After this process, any programs you installed between now and the date you choose will have to be reinstalled, any programs you uninstalled will have to be uninstalled again.

For Windows Vista:

  • First, you want to restart your computer into Safe Mode
  • Press the F8 button while your computer boots up until you get a menu. If your computer goes into Windows, you need to try again.
  • Use your arrow keys to select Safe Mode from the menu
  • Press your Enter key
  • Once your computer is fully booted up, you will see a pop up window informing you that you are in Safe Mode. Close the window and go to your Start menu on the lower left of your desktop
  • Type “restore” in the search box. You will see system restore listed there. Left click on it.
  • You will have two options once you get into system restore. There will be a  recommended date and choose another date. You want to choose another date.
  • Look at the dates carefully, and pick one from before you started to get error 4000, then click Next.
  • Click the Finish button
  • Reboot to normal Windows

To prevent getting registry errors in the future, I suggest getting a registry cleaner and running it weekly. For more information on registry cleaners and how they can fix error 4000 visit our site today.

Strike Back When Error 2718 Strikes

Posted by Kat

When you get error 2718 it usually happens at start up. You will get several windows popping up with  error2718. Some of them may ask you for a disk. The windows will specify what program they want the disk for. This error is usually generated after the improper or incomplete installation of a program that has parts that try to initialize during start up.

Fixing Error 2718

There are a couple things  you can do to be rid of this problem. The first one, also the easiest one, is to go into start up and remove the program from the list of startup tasks.

To remove the program from the list of startup tasks just:

  • Go to Start on the lower left hand side of your desktop
  • Go to Run
  • Type in “msconfig” (without the quotation marks)
  • Go to the Start Up tab
  • Find the listing for the program that is giving you the errors, you may have to look at where the file is located to know which file you need to remove.
  • Remove the check box for that file
  • Reboot

If that doesn’t fix your problem, you are looking at a registry error.

Registry Errors 101

Understanding what a registry error is can be easy, but there is a wide variety of them. Simply put, a registry error is any error in the core programming code of your Windows operating system. Registry errors can vary from corrupt files, to missing files, to shortcuts to programs you uninstalled.

In years gone by, you would have to go into the registry manually and look for the problem yourself. The problem with that was that not only did it take hours, but if you didn’t know what you were doing, you could easily turn your computer into a paperweight. I know professionals that would rather just reinstall Windows than deal with the registry.

Today we have registry cleaners. Registry cleaners are programs that are designed to seek out and fix errors in your registry in a matter of minutes. These programs are good for finding corrupt or missing files and fixing them, removing empty registry keys, removing links to programs that are no longer there, fixing system crashes and hangs, and fixing blue screen errors.

If you are reading this, I’m going to assume you are experiencing error1935 when trying to install a program. You may be wondering what on earth this error is and why you can’t install your program. I’m here for you with some answers and fixes.

What is Error 1935?

Error 1935 is a dll error. That means there is a corrupt or missing file in your dynamic link library. There are only a few causes for this to happen. A malicious virus infects you, or your registry keys have become corrupted through regular “wear and tear.”

Fixing Error 1935

First things first. Let us make sure you are not infected by a virus. Start your anti-virus and choose to update. You may need to update a few times before your anti-virus is completely updated. I would suggest updating at least once a week. Now you want to run a full scan on all your hard drives. This can take a while, so go watch a TV program or a movie while your anti-virus does its thing.

Now that we are sure your computer is clean we want to do a system restore. Basically we’re reverting your computer’s registry to a previous date, a date before you started having these problems. You may want to print off these instructions, so you can refer to them as your computer reboots.

For Windows Vista:

  • Restart your computer
  • Press the F8 button while your computer boots up until you get a menu
  • Use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode
  • Hit Enter
  • Once your computer is fully booted up, go to your Start menu
  • Type “restore” in the search box. You will see system restore listed there.
  • You will have two options once you get into system restore. The recommended and the choose another date. Select “Choose another date.”
  • Look at the dates carefully, and pick one, then click “Next.”
  • Finish

If you installed any programs between the date you chose and today you will need to reinstall those programs.

Now try to install the program you were trying to install when you got error 1935. Can you install it now? If not, you are having registry errors. For more information on registry errors and how to fix error 1935 visit our site today.
