How to Fix XP on Windows PCs

Posted by Kat

As with all computer systems, Windows XP is susceptible to its fair share of errors and is vulnerable to corruption due to viruses and other malicious programs.  If you run across any minor to major problems with your Windows XP PC, the following steps will help fix XP and get your computer system up and running like new again.

As with any problem, the faster you try to diagnose and fix it, the easier it will be to fix.  If you are having problems with your computer system, an immediate fix is highly recommended.

Restore Your Computer to a Previous Date without XP Errors
Resetting your computer system to the last known good registry configuration eliminates any recently developed problems and is the simplest way to fix XP errors.  The only downside of this utility is that any files saved during the time since that last known good configuration will be lost.  So if you can access them, save them on an external drive to ensure their safety.

To reset your computer to the last known good configuration:

  • Restart (reboot) your computer while holding down the F8 key.
  • This will bring up the Windows Advanced Options menu.
  • Using your arrow keys, go down to Last Known Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked) and hit enter.

Simple as that.

Never Have to Fix XP Again
To prevent the same problems in your computer system from happening again, download a good registry cleaner.  A good registry cleaner will find and eliminate registry errors on your computer’s hard drive and prevent any system errors that will require you to fix windows XP.
