The complexity of Microsoft products requires a central portal for documentation and troubleshooting, and the Microsoft Support website tackles the majority of errors. Users can search for a particular error message and retrieve possible solutions. The service is free of charge. Many times, the fix for a Microsoft error requires an operating system update. These programs are easily downloaded through the support center and are available for free to registered Microsoft users.
2. Investigate the warranty protection provided by Microsoft for the software package experiencing errors. If a replacement for your program is necessary to resolve the error, it may be handled for free by Microsoft. Warranties eventually expire and do not cover all potential issues.

While an actual replacement of the computer may not be necessary, manufacturer warranties often include free technical support to troubleshoot any Microsoft problem you encounter. A technician will be able to connect to your PC directly and interact with the system in real-time. Most software problems are addressed easily via this service.

How to check and repair corrupt system files in Windows Vista Home

1. Boot your computer into Safe Mode, especially if you can't access the regular Windows Vista desktop due to a missing system file. Shut off your computer and wait a few seconds, then turn it back on and tap 'F8' before the Windows splash screen loads to access the Advanced Startup Menu. Use the arrow keys to choose 'Safe Mode' and press 'Enter.' This loads a driver-sparse version of Windows that is useful for troubleshooting.
2. Click 'Start' and choose 'All Programs' and then 'Accessories.' Right-click on 'Command prompt' and choose 'Run as Administrator.' Click 'Allow' if Windows prompts you to confirm that you are the computer administrator. The command prompt opens: this is a DOS-like interface where you can enter commands to run utilities for troubleshooting and repair.
3. Type 'sfc /scannow' at the prompt (the flashing cursor) and press 'Enter.' This starts Windows System File Checker, which scans the Windows installation directory for any corrupt, missing or non-authenticated versions of the Vista files. By default, the program replaces the files that don't match with System File Checker's record of your Vista install. When dealing with a virus this is particularly helpful, since some viruses replace system files with lookalikes that have the same name but destructive purposes.
4. Type 'Exit' when the System File Checker completes it diagnostic and press 'Enter' to return to Safe Mode. Shut down the computer normally -- by using the 'Start' button -- and then restart it and let it load to Vista regularly.

Repeat with each process to identify if the problem is always there. If it only occurs with some services, reinstall them.
4. Perform an antivirus and anti-spyware check. If your computer harbors a virus or malware, remove it to fully remove the error.
