How to Repair a Blue Screen on your Own

Posted by Kat

Even the name, blue screen, implies something different and strange is going on in your computer.   No one wants to be typing along and suddenly see the monitor turn bright blue, but it happens.  The most important thing is not to lose your head at the sight.

Why a blue screen doesn’t make me blue.

First off, I back up regularly.  I have made this mistake before.  I used to back up about once a year.  Then the worst thing that could happen to a computer did.  Mine decided that it would crash.  The infrequent backups didn’t help much.

I lost everything.  Still I was not smart enough to learn the lesson and when my new computer did the same thing a years later I was sill burnt!  Need I tell you that I back up religiously now?

How to fix your computer with a reboot (if you’ve done a back up).

Sometimes it is a simple as a quick reboot to get back to work.  Whatever caused the error, memory issues, a bit of code that triggered a panic or an incompatible driver, your computer has managed to overcome the problem and after a reboot everything is fine.

Otherwise you may need to reboot in safe mode.  Shut off the computer, restart it and press F8 until you enter the safe mode.  Pick last known good configuration and your system will restart itself at that point, if it can.

If that doesn’t work you can opt to restore by using the built in restore facility.  If for some reason you disabled the restore function or never allowed the computer to create restore points, you won’t be able to do this.

Registry Cleaners
For some all this rebooting and restoring is overwhelming.  I completely understand.  Your best bet to avoid the blue screen is to download and use a registry cleaner regularly.  This programs clean up errors, bits of left over files and much more, creating a stream lined computer that works better and has fewer errors.  Download a registry cleaner now and watch that baby run!

Cartoon of the Week

Posted by Ruel

How many times have Windows crashed on you? I bet it’s twice the digits of your favorite basketball player’s jersey number. While Microsoft futilely denies it, their operating systems are prone to seizures, leaving the user helpless and dumbfounded during attacks or glitches.

However, to its credit, Redmond is continuously trying to avoid painting your screen blue whenever its OS stumbles upon something that makes it cough. Patches are regularly issued, while malicious software removal tools are being shipped with the updates.

What Microsoft isn’t directly addressing, though, is its operating system’s inability to flush out the remains of outdated or deleted programs in the registry. The program’s ineptness to deal with the problem has caused it to sometimes carry bricks when the actual load should only be pebbles.

This is the reason why RegCure is essential. It fills in the holes left open by Microsoft. The fact that the registry is a very vital organ in your system makes a registry cleaner indispensable. With RegCure installed, you could ensure that the featured cartoon in this post remains funny.
