Windows EXE Error Fixes



EXE Files Explained…

.EXE is the file name extension referencing an executable file (i.e. a software program) in Windows operating system. These files run your programs and also contain other embedded resources such as bit maps, windows icons, etc. which the software might call and use for its user interface, or better known as a GUI.

So What Exactly Causes EXE Errors?

There are multiple reasons why running an EXE file could cause your program to crash:
  • Malicious Software:  Direct PC infections such as computer viruses, backdoor Trojans, malware, key loggers and spyware. These programs are usually installed without the users’ content (or knowledge) through either different websites on the Internet or as email attachments. If executed, they attempt to take control or modify important registry entries or .EXE files critical for your PC operating system to function properly.
  • Application Conflicts: Running multiple software applications that are conflicting with one another.
  • Incomplete Installation: While attempting to launch a setup.exe or install.exe file, the software installer locks up, loses connection (if installing through a web browser), or crash during install. This can cause corrupt registry entries and trigger EXE errors.
  • Missing or Corrupt Device Drivers: All your computer hardware devices use a small software file known as a device driver (or .INF) file. These files give specific instructions to the Windows operating system (and other devices) on how to interact with the device. If you have a device in your computer that is faulty, such a failing hard drive, it can cause a direct fault in the driver causing an .EXE error.

How Can You Fix EXE Errors?

you can use a combination of three software programs to fix and prevent EXE errors:
  1. Always protect your PC with an anti-virus software program.
  2. Run a recommended registry cleaner to remove and repair corrupt Windows registry entries on your computer. This can prevent future problems and software crashes.
  3. Keep your PC Drivers updated. The easiest way to ensure you have all the correct device drivers on your computer is to use an up-to-date driver software tool. We recommend Driver Finder.

An attempt was made to insert a node where it is not permitted

Do you face this Error while you are writing code to generate xml file from java? Exception in thread "main" org.w3c.dom.DOMException : HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: An attempt was made to insert a node where it is not permitted.        at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.CoreDocumentImpl.insertBefore(Unknown Source)        at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.NodeImpl.appendChild(Unknown Source)        at generatexml.WriteXMLFile.main( WriteXMLFile.java:30 ) Well the answer is: Don't insert the node where it isn't permitted. Change your generated directory file path from 'C' to other directory ex, D or to any directory you have. Make sure the ‘appendChild’ is referring to the right element. Don’t appending twice, only make it once. Ex, //Writetoxml.java   Element rootElement = doc . createElement ( " Company " );   doc . appendChild ( ro...

What do you know about HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM)?

What is it? HKEY stands for " Handle to Registry Key ”. The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree contains information about the local computer system, including hardware and operating system data, such as bus type, system memory, device drivers, and startup control parameters. It is one of several registry hives in the Windows Registry . HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE contains the majority of the configuration information for the software you have installed and for the Windows operating system itself. It also contains information about currently detected hardware and, beginning in Windows Vista, information about your computer's boot configuration. HKLM components The following registry keys are located under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\BCD00000000 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Schema HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM No...
