Understanding and Dealing with Windows

Error Codes

For some people, a computer system can be likened to a thinking and living organism in the way it can give feedback when it is encountering an internal problem. Just as living organisms give out vocal and motion feedbacks when something is wrong, your computer particularly the Windows operating system tells the user that a problem is present through Windows error codes.

With over 15000 Windows error codes available, it will take large amount of time to discuss all codes in detail. Also this can be confusing, especially for inexperience users. What can be done is to categorize these codes to help users understand the errors that they are encountering. The following provides a brief description regarding these categories for error codes.

Basic Categories of Windows Error Codes

The following describes in brief some of the more common error codes categories encountered for most normal users.

* System Error Code

These types of errors occur when there is a problem encountered in the installed software and applications during use or a problem with the computer operating system itself.  The code consists of an error number and a short message describing the error. These Windows error codes are useful in determining what part of the software or the application is causing the problem so appropriate solution steps can be made.

* Device Manager Error Code

These types of Windows error codes are only displayed within the Device Manager and can be viewed in the status area for a particular hardware or device properties. The device manager error codes are different from system error codes and they indicate a problem in the operation or installation of a particular device in the system. These are usually associated problems in the memory allocation for the particular device in question or with wrong device drivers. It can also be called the hardware error code.

* Stop Error Codes

Some of the most feared errors in Windows involve STOP errors or what is more commonly known among techies and Windows users as BSOD or Blue Screen of Death. When this type of error appears, Windows encountered a major fault and had to re-boot the whole system. The screen indicates the stop codes and the associated drivers or files that may have to do with the system crashing, and will also indicate the possible solutions to the problem. The only drawback here is that whenever Windows encounter a stop error, it automatically re-starts the system and users may not be able to read the codes and other information in time. If this is the case, there are procedures to prevent Windows from automatically re-booting after a stop error.

Windows error codes are good tools for troubleshooting and assist users in optimizing their systems for the best possible performance. The information in these errors are also used by Windows developers in providing amendments and fixes to these problems as well as developing new products that have incorporated the resolutions to the common errors encountered by users.
