my operating system has errors what must I do and I have
57 errors on my computer by the pc doctor analyzing it
but I can't afford to purchase the pc doctor now.
 
Can't help you with PC Doctor and there's no possible way of helping you
with your errors if we don't know what they are. However, the information
below may help you discover the source of some of the problems:
First, be sure your antivirus software has the latest definitions and run a
virus scan.

If your system is clear of viruses, open Control Panel, open System, go to
the Advanced tab, click Settings under Startup and Recovery, remove the
check from "Automatically Restart" under System Failure. This will cause
the system to blue screen instead of restarting on errors and the
information on the blue screen may give a clue as to the source of the
issue.

Open Control Panel, open Administrative Tools, open Event Viewer, look for
errors corresponding to the crash, double click the error, the information
contained within may give a clue as to the
source of the problem.

Assuming you have an XP CD and not a recovery CD, place the XP CD in the
drive, when the setup screen appears, select "Check System Compatibility,"
the report it generates may point to problem hardware or software on your
system. If you do not have an XP CD, you can download this application
known as the Upgrade Advisor from the following site:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/howtobuy/upgrading/advisor.asp
Note: If you have access to a broadband connection it might be best to
download using that as this is a rather large download.

Check for the latest drivers for your hardware, especially your graphics
card and soundcard and all peripherals connected to your system. No not use
Windows Update for this, go to the device manufacturer's web sites and if
you install updated drivers, ignore the message about drivers being unsigned
by Microsoft.

Download the free 30 day trial of "tuneup utilities" from
http://www.tune-up.com/
it's fully funcional for 30 days.

I doubt whether the finding's of "pc doctor" are anything to
worry about. Most of these "errors" found in the registry
can be safely ignored.....

While I am not condemning PC Doctor just let me say that
this sort of tactic is one they use to sell their product.
That should tell you a little about their services. If you
can't sell it honestly than anything goes. I'm not saying
that you don't have problems with your OS but the simple
truth is that PC Doctor will report even the most minor
and insignificant error to worry you to death. Some simple
system maintenance and the use of free services like
www.pcpitstop.com and free applications like JV16 Power
Tools and SpyBot Search and Destroy and SpywareBlaster and
BHODemon and on and on will help you to keep your system
safe and running up to speed. XP is very robust and most
of the registry tweaks that you can do to boost
performance and fix problems are simple and straight
forward even for a newbie. Have fun.
