- 1). Determine what the registry error is and what is affected by it. This can be a simple or difficult process. If you are stating an application, and during its boot-up it is giving you a registry error, then it is logical to assume that the application is corrupt. If you are receiving a general memory error, this can be caused by hardware, improper software management or a corrupt registry.
- 2). Isolate the error. If you know that the cause is from a device driver or application then your search is most likely over. If you are not sure what is causing the error then you will have to put on your troubleshooting hat and find out. Write down the exact error you are getting. The Internet will have several articles on what causes that specific type of error. If you have determined that the error is a registry error, then the next step is to repair the registry.
- 3). Repair the registry. If the problem is from an individual piece of software or a device driver, then just reinstall the software or driver. That will usually fix the problem. The next step is to restore the registry to the last known working date. To restore the registry, perform the following steps: Click the "Start" button, select "All Programs," select "Accessories," select "System Tools," and then select "System Restore." The System Restore window will open. Click on the "Recommended restore" radio button, and click the "Next" button. Follow the prompts to restore your registry.
