September 21st, 2018

A customer had a script to set up a virtual machine, but this call was failing:

regsvr32 /s /n /i:u Awesome.dll

The DLL failed to register, and regsvr32 exited with code 3.

Last time, we saw exit code 3 means that the Load­Library call failed. The customer reported that the error was not consistent, and they’ve been working around it by waiting a little while and retrying the operation. But sometimes, even after a few retries, the operation still fails.

The were running regsvr32 in silent mode, so no error messages were displayed to the user.

According to the table from last time, step 3 is the Load­Library step. Since the problem was random and sometimes cleared up after a few retries, this ruled out systematic errors like copying the file to the wrong directory, or copying the wrong version of the file. Those types of errors would result in the operation failing consistently, rather than randomly.

I suspected that the Load­Library failed because the file was still in use, either because it was still being copied to the VM, or because it was being scanned or blocked by anti-malware software running in the VM.

One option for digging further is to run regsvr32 one last time in non-silent mode, so that the error details are on the screen. They could write an automation client that scrapes the message before dismissing the dialog box. If they go the automation client route, they may as well always run regsvr32 in non-silent mode.

If the team doesn’t have experience with writing automation, they could just set a watchdog on regsvr32. Pick a generous amount of time to cover typical running time of regsvr32 in the success cases. If regsvr32 has not returned by then, then take a screen shot and then terminate the regsvr32 proces.

Or they could write their own program that tries to Load­Library their DLL and captures the Get­Last­Error. Run the custom program once the first regsvr32 fails. They could even turn on loader snaps to get extremely detailed information about the Load­Library operation; that information will pinpoint exactly where it went wrong.

Another option is to run regsvr32 under the debugger with loader snaps enabled and tell the debugger to log all output to a file.

cdb -Ggx -logo log.txt regsvr32 /s /n i:u Awesome.dll

If the DLL registers successfully, then delete the log file. If it fails, then save the log file somewhere for analysis.

Yet another possibility is that the exit code of 3 is a red herring. Perhaps something went wrong in a way that led to the C runtime calling the abort() function, which exits the program with code 3.

Step 3 – Ensure Junk Isn’t Causing RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3

Any space that isn’t regularly cleaned out tends to accumulate junk. Your personal computer is no exception. Constant web browsing, installation of applications, and even browser thumbnail caches slow down your device and in the absence of adequate memory, can also trigger a RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3 error.

So how do you get around this problem?

• You can either use the Disk Cleanup Tool that comes baked into your Windows operating system.
• Or you can use a more specialized hard drive clean up solution that does a thorough job and flushes the most stubborn temporary files from your system.

Both solutions may take several minutes to complete the processing of your system data if you haven’t conducted a clean up in a while.
The browser caches are almost a lost cause because they tend to fill up quite rapidly, thanks to our constantly connected and on the go lifestyle.
Here’s how you can run the Window’s Disk Cleanup Tool, without performance issues or surprises.

• For Windows XP and Windows 7, the program can be ran from “Start” and from the “Command Prompt”.
  • Click “Start”, go to All Programs > Accessories > System Tools, click Disk Cleanup. Next choose the type of files you wish to remove, click OK, followed by “Delete Files”.
  • Open up the Command Prompt, type “c:windowscleanmgr.exe /d” for XP and “cleanmgr” for Windows 7. Finish by pressing “Enter”.
• For Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, the Disk Cleanup Tool can be accessed directly from “Settings”. Click “Control Panel” and then “Administrative Tools”. You can select the drive that you want to run the clean up on. Select the files you want to get rid of and then click “OK” and “Delete Files”.
• For Windows 10, the process is simplified further. Type Disk Cleanup directly in the search bar and press “Enter”. Choose the drive and then the files that you wish to wipe. Click “OK”, followed by “Delete Files”.

The progressive ease with which the Cleanup Tool can be used points to the growing importance of regularly deleting temporary files and its place in preventing RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3.

PRO TIP:
Remember to run the Disk Cleanup as an administrator.

Step 4 – Fix Infections and Eliminate Malware in Your PC

How do you gauge if your system is infected with a malware and virus?

Well, for one, you may find certain applications misbehaving.

And you may also see the occurrence of Error 0x3.

Infections and malware are the result of:

• Browsing the Internet using open or unencrypted public Wi-Fi connections
• Downloading applications from unknown and untrustworthy sources
• Intentional planting of viruses in your home and office networks

But thankfully, their impact can be contained.

• Enter “safe mode” by pressing the F8 key repeatedly when your device is restarting. Choose “Safe Mode with Networking” from the Advanced Boot Options menu.
• Back up all the data in your device to a secure location. This is preferably a storage unit that is not connected to your existing network.
• Leave program files as is. They are where the infection generally spreads from and may have been compromised.
• Run a thorough full-system scan or check of an on-demand scanner. If you already have an antivirus or anti-malware program installed, let it do the heavy lifting.
• Restart your computer once the process has run its course.
• Lastly, change all your passwords and update your drivers and operating system.

PRO TIP: Are you annoyed by the frequent updates to your antivirus program? Don’t be! These regular updates add new virus signatures to your software database for exponentially better protection.

Step 5 – Return to the Past to Eliminate Error 0x3

The steps outlined up until this point in the tutorial should have fixed RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3 error. But the process of tracking what has caused an error is a series of educated guesses. So in case the situation persists, move to Step 5.

Windows devices give users the ability to travel back in time and restore system settings to an uncorrupted, error free state.
This can be done through the convenient “System Restore” program. The best part of the process is the fact that using System Restore doesn’t affect your personal data. There is no need to take backups of new songs and pictures in your hard drive.

• Open “Control Panel” and click on “System & Security”.
• Choose the option “System”.
• To the left of the modal, click on “System Protection”.
• The System Properties window should pop-up. You’ll be able to see the option “System Restore”. Click on it.
• Go with “Recommended restore” for the path of least hassles and surprises.
• Choose a system restore point (by date) that will guarantee taking your device back to the time when Error 0x3 hasn’t been triggered yet.
• Tap “Next” and wrap up by clicking “Finish”.

If you’re using Windows 7 OS, you can reach “System Restore” by following the path Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools.

Step 6 — Error 0x3 Caused by Outdated Drivers

Updating a driver is not as common as updating your operating system or an application used to run front-end interface tasks.

Drivers are software snippets in charge of the different hardware units that keep your device functional.

So when you detect an RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3 error, updating your drivers may be a good bet. But it is time consuming and shouldn’t be viewed as a quick fix.

Here’s the step-by-step process you can go through to update drivers for Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

• Check the site of your hardware maker for the latest versions of all the drivers you need. Download and extract them. We strongly advice going with original drivers. In most cases, they are available for free on the vendor website. Installing an incompatible driver causes more problems than it can ever fix.
• Open “Device Manager” from the Control Panel.
• Go through the various hardware component groupings and choose the ones you would like to update.
• On Windows 10 and Windows 8, right-click on the icon of the hardware you would like to update and click “Update Driver”.
• On Windows 7 and Vista, you right-click the hardware icon, choose “Properties”, navigate to the Driver panel, and then click “Update Driver”.
• Next you can let your device automatically search for the most compatible drivers, or you can choose to update the drivers from the versions you have on your hard drive. If you have an installer disk, then the latter should be your preferred course of action. The former may often get the driver selection incorrect.
• You may need to navigate a host of warnings from the Windows OS as you finalize the driver update. These include “Windows can’t verify that the driver is compatible” and “Windows can’t verify the publisher of this driver”. If you know that you have the right one in line, click “Yes”.
• Restart the system and hopefully the RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3 error should have been fixed.

---

Step 7 – Call the Windows System File Checker into Action

By now the RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3 plaguing your device should have been fixed. But if you haven’t resolved the issue yet, you can explore the Windows File Checker option.

With the Windows File Checker, you can audit all the system files your device needs to operate, locate missing ones, and restore them.
Sound familiar? It is almost like “System Restore”, but not quite. The System Restore essentially takes you back in time to a supposedly perfect set up of system files. The File Checker is more exhaustive.

It identifies what is amiss and fills the gaps.

• First and foremost, open up an elevated command prompt.
• Next, if you are using Windows 8, 8.1 or 10, enter “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” into the window and press Enter.
• The process of running the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool may take several minutes.
• Once it completes, type the following command into the prompt “sfc /scannow”.
• Your device will now go through all protected files and if it detects an anomaly, it will replace the compromised version with a cached version that resides at %WinDir%System32dllcache.

---

Step 8 – Is your RAM Corrupted? Find Out.

Is it possible? Can the memory sticks of your device trigger Error 0x3?

It is unlikely – because the RAM chips have no moving parts and consume little power. But at this stage, if all else has failed, diagnosing your RAM may be a good move.

You can use the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool to get the job done. Users who are on a Linux or Mac and are experiencing crashes can use memtest86.

• Open up your device and go straight to the “Control Panel”.
• Click on “Administrative Tools”.
• Choose “Windows Memory Diagnostic”.
• What this built-in option does is it burns an ISO image of your RAM and boots the computer from this image.
• The process takes a while to complete. Once it is done, the “Status” field at the bottom of the screen populates with the result of the diagnosis. If there are no issues with your RAM/memory, you’ll see “No problems have been detected”.

One drawback of the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool pertains to the number of passes it runs and the RAM segments it checks.

Memtest86 methodically goes over all the segments of your memory – irrespective of whether it is occupied or not.

But the Windows alternative only checks the occupied memory segments and may be ineffective in gauging the cause of the RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3 error.

---

Step 9 – Is your Hard Drive Corrupted? Find Out.

Your RAM or working memory isn’t the only culprit that may precipitate an RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3 error. The hard drive of your device also warrants close inspection.

The symptoms of hard drive error and corruption span:

• Frequent crashes and the Blue Screen of Death (BSoD).
• Performance issues like excessively slow responses.
• Errors like Error 0x3.

Hard drives are definitely robust, but they don’t last forever.

There are three things that you can do to diagnose the health of your permanent memory.

• It is possible that your device may have a hard time reading your drive. This can be the cause of an RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3 error. You should eliminate this possibility by connecting your drive to another device and checking for the recurrence of the issue. If nothing happens, your drive health is okay.
• Collect S.M.A.R.T data by using the WMIC (Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line) in the command prompt. To do this, simply type “wmic” into the command prompt and press Enter. Next follow it up with “diskdrive get status”. The S.M.A.R.T status reading is a reliable indicator of the longevity of your drive.
• Fix what’s corrupt. Let’s assume you do find that all isn’t well with your hard drive. Before you invest in an expensive replacement, using Check Disk or chkdsk is worth a shot.
  • Open the command prompt. Make sure you are in Admin mode.
  • Type “chkdsk C: /F /X /R” and press “Enter”. “C” here is the drive letter and “R” recovers data, if possible, from the bad sectors.
  • Allow the system to restart if the prompt shows up.
  • And you should be done.

These steps can lead to the resolution you’re seeking. Otherwise the RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3 may appear again. If it does, move to Step 10.

Step 10 – Update Windows OS

Like the software applications you use to render specific tasks on your device, the Operating System also requires periodic updates.
Yes, we’ve all heard the troubling stories.

Devices often develop problems post unfinished updates that do not go through. But these OS updates include important security patches. Not having them applied to your system leaves it vulnerable to viruses and malware.

And may also trigger Error 0x3.

So here’s how Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 users can check for the latest updates and push them through:

• Click the “Start” button on the lower left-hand corner of your device.
• Type “Updates” in the search bar. There should be a “Windows Update” or “Check for Updates” option, based on the OS version you’re using.
• Click it. The system will let you know if any updates are available.
• You have the convenience of choosing the components of the update you’d like to push through. Always prioritize the security updates.
• Click “OK” followed by “Install Updates”.

---

Step 11 – Refresh the OS to Eliminate Persistent RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3 Error

“Windows Refresh” is a lifesaver.

For those of you who are still with us and nothing has worked to eliminate the Error 0x3, until recently, a fresh install of Windows would have been the only option.

Not anymore.

The Windows Refresh is similar to reinstalling your Windows OS, but without touching your personal data. That’s hours of backup time saved in a jiffy.

Through the Refresh, all your system files become good as new. The only minor annoyance is the fact that any custom apps you’ve installed are gone and the system applications you had uninstalled are back.

Still, it is the best bet as the final step of this process.

• Enter the “Settings” of your PC and click on “Change Settings”.
• Click “Update and recovery” and then choose “Recovery”.
• Select “Keep my files”. This removes apps and settings, but lets your personal files live on.
• You’ll get some warning messages about the apps that will be uninstalled. If you’ve gone through a recent OS upgrade, the Refresh process makes it so that you can’t go back to your previous OS version – if you should ever feel the need to do it.
• Click the “Refresh” button.

Are you using an older version of Windows that doesn’t come with the power to “Refresh”?

Maybe it is time to start from scratch.

• Enter your BIOS set-up.
• This is where you need to change your computer’s boot order. Make it so that the boot happens not from the existing system files, but from the CD/DVD Drive.
• Place the original Windows disk in the CD/DVD drive.
• Turn on or restart the device.
• Choose where you’d like the system files to be installed.
• Your PC will restart several times as the process runs its course.

Step 7 – Call the Windows System File Checker into Action By now the RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3 plaguing your device should have been fixed. But if you haven’t resolved the issue yet, you can explore the Windows File Checker option. With the Windows File Checker, you can audit all the system files your device needs to operate, locate missing ones, and restore them. Sound familiar? It is almost like “System Restore”, but not quite. The System Restore essentially takes you back in time to a supposedly perfect set up of system files. The File Checker is more exhaustive. It identifies what is amiss and fills the gaps. First and foremost, open up an elevated command prompt. Next, if you are using Windows 8, 8.1 or 10, enter “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” into the window and press Enter. The process of running the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool may take several minutes. Once it completes, type the following command into the prompt “sfc /scannow”. Your device will now go through all protected files and if it detects an anomaly, it will replace the compromised version with a cached version that resides at %WinDir%System32dllcache. Step 8 – Is your RAM Corrupted? Find Out. Is it possible? Can the memory sticks of your device trigger Error 0x3? It is unlikely – because the RAM chips have no moving parts and consume little power. But at this stage, if all else has failed, diagnosing your RAM may be a good move. You can use the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool to get the job done. Users who are on a Linux or Mac and are experiencing crashes can use memtest86. Open up your device and go straight to the “Control Panel”. Click on “Administrative Tools”. Choose “Windows Memory Diagnostic”. What this built-in option does is it burns an ISO image of your RAM and boots the computer from this image. The process takes a while to complete. Once it is done, the “Status” field at the bottom of the screen populates with the result of the diagnosis. If there are no issues with your RAM/memory, you’ll see “No problems have been detected”. One drawback of the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool pertains to the number of passes it runs and the RAM segments it checks. Memtest86 methodically goes over all the segments of your memory – irrespective of whether it is occupied or not. But the Windows alternative only checks the occupied memory segments and may be ineffective in gauging the cause of the RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3 error. Step 9 – Is your Hard Drive Corrupted? Find Out. Your RAM or working memory isn’t the only culprit that may precipitate an RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3 error. The hard drive of your device also warrants close inspection. The symptoms of hard drive error and corruption span: Frequent crashes and the Blue Screen of Death (BSoD). Performance issues like excessively slow responses. Errors like Error 0x3. Hard drives are definitely robust, but they don’t last forever. There are three things that you can do to diagnose the health of your permanent memory. It is possible that your device may have a hard time reading your drive. This can be the cause of an RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3 error. You should eliminate this possibility by connecting your drive to another device and checking for the recurrence of the issue. If nothing happens, your drive health is okay. Collect S.M.A.R.T data by using the WMIC (Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line) in the command prompt. To do this, simply type “wmic” into the command prompt and press Enter. Next follow it up with “diskdrive get status”. The S.M.A.R.T status reading is a reliable indicator of the longevity of your drive. Fix what’s corrupt. Let’s assume you do find that all isn’t well with your hard drive. Before you invest in an expensive replacement, using Check Disk or chkdsk is worth a shot. Open the command prompt. Make sure you are in Admin mode. Type “chkdsk C: /F /X /R” and press “Enter”. “C” here is the drive letter and “R” recovers data, if possible, from the bad sectors. Allow the system to restart if the prompt shows up. And you should be done. These steps can lead to the resolution you’re seeking. Otherwise the RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3 may appear again. If it does, move to Step 10. Step 10 – Update Windows OS Like the software applications you use to render specific tasks on your device, the Operating System also requires periodic updates. Yes, we’ve all heard the troubling stories. Devices often develop problems post unfinished updates that do not go through. But these OS updates include important security patches. Not having them applied to your system leaves it vulnerable to viruses and malware. And may also trigger Error 0x3. So here’s how Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 users can check for the latest updates and push them through: Click the “Start” button on the lower left-hand corner of your device. Type “Updates” in the search bar. There should be a “Windows Update” or “Check for Updates” option, based on the OS version you’re using. Click it. The system will let you know if any updates are available. You have the convenience of choosing the components of the update you’d like to push through. Always prioritize the security updates. Click “OK” followed by “Install Updates”. Step 11 – Refresh the OS to Eliminate Persistent RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3 Error “Windows Refresh” is a lifesaver. For those of you who are still with us and nothing has worked to eliminate the Error 0x3, until recently, a fresh install of Windows would have been the only option. Not anymore. The Windows Refresh is similar to reinstalling your Windows OS, but without touching your personal data. That’s hours of backup time saved in a jiffy. Through the Refresh, all your system files become good as new. The only minor annoyance is the fact that any custom apps you’ve installed are gone and the system applications you had uninstalled are back. Still, it is the best bet as the final step of this process. Enter the “Settings” of your PC and click on “Change Settings”. Click “Update and recovery” and then choose “Recovery”. Select “Keep my files”. This removes apps and settings, but lets your personal files live on. You’ll get some warning messages about the apps that will be uninstalled. If you’ve gone through a recent OS upgrade, the Refresh process makes it so that you can’t go back to your previous OS version – if you should ever feel the need to do it. Click the “Refresh” button. Are you using an older version of Windows that doesn’t come with the power to “Refresh”? Maybe it is time to start from scratch. Enter your BIOS set-up. This is where you need to change your computer’s boot order. Make it so that the boot happens not from the existing system files, but from the CD/DVD Drive. Place the original Windows disk in the CD/DVD drive. Turn on or restart the device. Choose where you’d like the system files to be installed. Your PC will restart several times as the process runs its course. FAQ’s Do Runtime Errors Like Error 0x3 Mean My Computer is Infected? Runtime errors are usually not associated with viruses. Sometimes they will come disguised as false alerts which are actually viruses in disguise. These are mostly pretty easy to distinguish, however. In these cases, it is recommended that you scan your computer with an antivirus software. What is the Windows Registry? Introduced with version 3.1 of the Windows OS, the Registry is a collection of information, options, settings, and other important values of a program. When you install a new program, a new file is added to the Registry pertaining to this new tool and contains information about it. This information can include the location, version, and instructions on how to start the program. How Long Will It Take to Fix Runtime Errors like RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3? Depending on the problem, it may take anywhere from five minutes to fifty minutes. The most time consuming process is finding what’s causing the problem, it may be a hardware issue or a software glitch. Once the issue has been correctly identified, it only takes a few minutes to solve the problem. Using a software can help you save time since it works in a specifically designed way solving the problem in a quick manner.

You’ve likely had a message pop up, at least once or twice, informing you that a DLL error has occurred. If you’re like a lot of people, you probably shut your computer down and rebooted, hoping the problem had gone away. But, what exactly is a DLL error, and how does it affect your computer? DLL stands for Dynamic Link Library. Essentially, a DLL file is a necessary component of a particular program or application. Without that DLL file, the program or application cannot run properly. Some DLL files are shared by numerous programs, and if a particular DLL file becomes corrupted or is accidentally deleted, it could wreak havoc on how those programs, that are associated with it, are run. Missing DLL — this means that a call has been made by an application for a particular DLL. However, that DLL could not be found. In some cases this means that the DLL file in questions cannot be found on your system. However, when a DLL is called, the application must provide a path to that library. A missing DLL error can occur in cases where the actual DLL name does not match the name of the DLL being called. It may also mean that the path being called does not match the actual path of the existing DLL. The DLL may be on your system, but it is possible that it could have an incorrect name or be in the incorrect location. This could be an error with the DLL itself or with the coding of the application causing the error. Corrupt DLL — a DLL, like any other file or folder on your computer, can become corrupt. They become corrupt for one of a number of reasons. Spyware or virus infections can certainly lead to a number of important files on your system becoming corrupt. If you have manually attempted to alter the contents of a file, then this too can lead to a corruption. An interrupted installation or even an interrupted execution of the DLL may also lead to a corrupt DLL error message. Reimage and Windows DLL Errors Sure, you can spend countless hours trying to figure out how to repair your DLL error but wouldn’t it save time to have an automatic program do it? Reimage will replace your missing/damaged DLL files with fresh, clean and up-to-date ones Reimage will replace ALL DLL files* that are missing and/or damaged — Even those you don’t know about! Freezing Computer Computer hanging or freezing occurs when either a program or the whole Operating System ceases to respond to inputs. In the most commonly encountered scenario, a program freezes and all windows belonging to the frozen program become static, and though the mouse cursor still moves on the screen, neither typing on the keyboard nor clicking the mouse produces any effect in the program’s windows. The mouse cursor may also be stuck in a form indicating that it is waiting for some operation to complete, such as an hourglass or a spinning wait cursor. Almost always, the only way to recover from a system freeze is to reboot the machine, usually by power cycling with an on/off or reset button. What Causes my Windows to Freeze? The most common but least severe cause of your computer screen freezing is when your system is using all RAM (memory) available — at that particular moment. If so, you’ve got a hardware problem. Our free Reimage scan can tell you how your PC’s RAM compares to a worldwide average. Find out how your PC’s hardware ranks, in under 5 minutes. How to Fix «Computer Screen Freeze» Simple Fixes This problem might be temporary. Wait a few moments to see if everything starts functioning again. Either increase your RAM or start closing programs that are running in the foreground and background of your computer that you don’t need. Follow the following steps: Press the ‘Alt’, ‘Ctrl’ and ‘Del’ buttons all at the same time, and you should bring up Windows Task Manager. See if any programs show up in the ‘Applications’ window as not being responsive. If anything shows, highlight it and click ‘End Task’. Wait a few seconds, and the non-responsive programs should shut down. More Complicated Fixes If the problem isn’t a purely short term, temporary one, then it’s something more serious.

After removing it with your anti-virus software, you’re often left with lingering side-effects. The symptoms vary, but the bottom line is the same: Your computer doesn’t work the way it used to. Your favorite programs crash frequently, your registry entries are a mess and even your wallpaper is mysteriously missing. Why did this happen? You’ve already removed the virus. Shouldn’t the havoc it caused go away, along with it? What about the damage caused to your system? Isn’t it simply erased, along with the malware that caused it? Technically, your computer might no longer be infected, but that doesn’t mean it’s error-free. Simple removing a virus can actually harm your system. Invisible Virus Damage Many Trojans and viruses do not advertise their presence on your computer. Viruses can surreptitiously infiltrate your PC, and both the files and the system will remain operable. Trojans can hide themselves in and secretly corrupt your PC without you suspecting anything is wrong. This is the reason an antivirus program is so essential. Anti-virus Programs and Reimage Reimage is a complementary solution to your anti-virus software. Your anti-virus software is there to detect new threats, terminate them and constantly protect your PC while Reimage is there to heal the damage these viruses have already caused. That’s why a full system scan of your entire hard drive with a good anti-virus program is always recommended after a Reimage repair. Reimage Gets Rid of Virus Damage Reimage uses a number of different virus engines simultaneously and a custom virus engine, developed by our R&D team. We use white lists together with black lists to better detect what should and should not reside in your operating system. This allows us to pinpoint and exterminate harmful components. The Reimage repair automatically compares system files with the Reimage repository files. Infected files are easily pointed out and then replaced with healthy ones. Infected files locked by viruses or by your operating system will be replaced when you reboot your PC. Operating System Recovery A clean reinstallation of Windows is often the only solution when your computer gets too congested to work anymore. However, a thorough reinstall of the Operating System is a time-consuming task that involves lengthy back-ups, long installations, and days to find and reinstall all of your favorite programs. Reimage is the best alternative to that long, unnecessary process. You can reduce your computer’s idle time and reinstall the Windows Operating System, without resorting to an unnecessary and often risky technique that’s best left to professional technicians. The Reimage process saves you the time and hassle of having to: Download endless registry cleaners and system optimizers that simply don’t work Figure out if you have a virus Find your Windows installation CD and realize it is outdated or scratched Reinstall Windows and actually «start from scratch» Reinstall broken drivers, software applications, recover license keys and passwords In most cases, it means you will never need to reinstall Windows again. One download, a few clicks, and the software will refresh your entire Windows PC. Reimage will revive your entire system, leaving it error-free and stable, safely and securely. One click & a free scan gets you started. How to fix Unable to register the DLL/OCX: RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3?
