We have all gone through the computer error messages ordeal. You know the one where you get all nervous, and your heart almost stops because you see this fatal error, or illegal error message. Who ever decided to call these messages "fatal" or "illegal?" Is someone going to die? Is the computer going to up and die because you turned it on? Some people are so afraid of these messages, the only thing they can think of to do is to turn the machine off and call the tech, and unbeknownst to them, this is probably what fixes the problem. There are over 20,000 different computer error messages on windows systems, and its virtually impossible to understand what all of them mean.
What significance does the error messages like "Cannot delete tmp 164_5.tmp: not enough free disc space" hold? This has no significance at all. Sometimes, the computer insists you on deleting some files, and won't let you delete the files when you do. What a strange situation!
A message is displayed "The program performed some illegal operation; it will have to shut down. Contact the program distributor, if the problem remains". I have had this message so many times that now I don't remember how many times I have faced this message. This message is a nightmare for a new computer user. Do people call program vendors during such a case? Well, the answer is "no". The program vendors are ignorant of such messages. As a matter of fact, sending about error messages to program vendors is just like sending your wish list to Santa for Christmas!
What can be done?
The truth is that most error messages can be solved by rebooting, or by turning your system off and then on again. So, unless you are a computer programmer, engineer, or love to fiddle with computer problems, you really don't need to know about every little computer error message.
These error messages are nothing to worry about, but still there are some of the error messages that you should beware of and get help if you see them.
Windows Protection Error- This error appears when there is a VxD or a virtual device driver problem. The best thing you can do is boot your computer in safe mode and uninstall and then reinstall the device driver that has the problem. This error message can also be caused by other problems like, memory, or a registry error. In case of a registry error, you can run a registry utilities program, which can be found on the internet to clean up your registry.
KERNEL32.DLL - Poor Kernel32 receives a lot of flack and there is just no hope for it. The problem is that the KERNEL32.DLL file deals with a lot of different processes. When you have a Kernel32 problem, you might have damaged files, bad registry entries, problems with the microprocessor, bad software, corrupt drivers, a virus, and sometimes even low hard drive disk space. See the Kernel32.DLL message could be any number of things. Sometimes even hardware trouble will cause this error message. For instance, you will get a KERNEL32.DLL message if your power supply is failing, or if your micro processor is overheating. Your first option in trying to fix this problem is to use a registry cleaner and see if the problem doesn't lie therein.
Blue Screen Errors - These are the biggest of the problems and in this case, the computer does not bother to display an error message to inform you. All you get is the big blue screen, which means that you have to take a sudden action. Sometimes the blue screen displays a message "wait for the program to start or else press ctrl-alt-del to restart the computer". Rebooting the computer helps in many cases as you cannot get the program back. The computer may get back to normal once you reboot. Some of the times, the blue screen displays that you need to plug back a device which has been unplugged by you. You may reboot in case windows not turning up. It is matter of concern when the blue screen keeps on appearing, and you must call a service person if there is a hardware problem.
In the End
Rebooting the computer only helps in most of the cases. There are always exceptions and there are cases when there have been problems in registry files and a registry utility cleaner solves the problem. It is important for you to get used to the meaning of error messages and summon a service technician to see what the problem actually is.
