How to Get Rid of an Access Violation
- 1). Download RegTool from the Access Violation website. Click the "Get your copy of RegTool Here" link. When prompted click "Save File." RegTool is designed for Windows 98/XP/ME/2000, certified for Windows Vista and compatible with Windows 7. It's also certified by Softpedia, meaning it's free of spyware, adware and viruses.
- 2). Open the file when prompted. A dialogue box appears asking: "Do you want to run this file?" Choose Run. Select Next on the Welcome to the Registry Tool Setup Wizard. Accept the license agreement and proceed with the installation.
- 3). Click the Start Scan button. The software scans, finds and repairs Windows registry errors and performs other types of scans.
- 4). Deselect all the checked items except "registry entries on your PC." The scan brings back a list of preselected items you can remove from your computer such as junk files and privacy items. Leave all items checked if you want them removed from your computer.
- 5). Click the Repair All button. This removes all the checked items from your computer, including the registry errors that cause access violations.
