Resolving Program File Corruption Issues in QuickBooks

Some data corruption can be the result of problems with the QuickBooks program files. This can occur during installation. A conflict occurs with some required component, such as Microsoft.NET or even the Windows Registry. Generally, QuickBooks runs normally, but at some point the program experiences fault errors or might not install an update properly. Usually, these problems can be resolved by repairing the QuickBooks installation.

To repair your QuickBooks program files, follow these steps:

1. From your Windows taskbar, click the Windows Orb or Start button, and select Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel, double-click Programs.
3. In Programs, select QuickBooks and choose Uninstall/Change.
4. Select Repair and click Next. QuickBooks begins the repair, displaying a progress bar during the process.
5. When the repair is complete, click Finish.

This procedure usually, not always, resolves file issues. In the event that it does not work, you will need to Uninstall QuickBooks and then reinstall it. Use the preceding steps to remove QuickBooks by selecting the Uninstall option rather than Repair.
