Not everyone can afford to buy a licensed version of the OS. Previously, this was not a problem, and Windows worked properly and without attachments. However, later versions have become much more demanding. When installing the Microsoft operating system, the user is asked to install only the licensed software. And it’s not just that. Pirated versions of Windows (especially Windows 7) display the message “AppHangB1 Error”. Let’s understand why this problem occurs and how to fix it.
AppHangB1 error correction method.
Why does the error appear?
The problem can occur after running any game or program. This is typical of pirated versions because such collections are not always high quality and usually contain a lot of glitches and bugs. The problem with AppHangB1 is one of them, which is often accompanied by the so-called “death screen”. What is it connected with? AppHangB1 – system error caused by corrupted video card drivers. It is observed in pirated collections, given that only licensed versions of “Windows” are equipped with a good file protection system and prevent damage. Defective files make themselves felt when running important games and applications, as they require full use of the video card, which can not function properly due to incorrect operation of the drivers. Consider ways to solve the problem.
How to fix the error
As we have already found out, the problem lies in the drivers. From them it is necessary to begin to restore normal work of the personal computer. However, simply updating and reinstalling will not be enough. The algorithm is as follows:
- Remove old and broken drivers. You can do this with some software or manually. From useful and effective applications we will advise Display Driver Uninstaller. If you want to do it yourself, you can delete them using Device Manager.
- Go to “Control Panel”, select the “System” tab.
- There we find a video adapter and press it twice.
- Open “Properties”.
- In the “Driver” tab, click “Delete”.
- We clean the register. To do this, you can use everyone’s favorite program CCleaner. Additionally, you should defragment the disks.
- Installing new drivers. The main factor in this point is the correct choice of the necessary software. You need to know exactly which video card you have and which drivers are “native” to it. To do this, you can use the official website and applications of the manufacturer of the video card (such as NVIDIA) or use the help of a very useful and proven utility DriverPack Solution.
ADVICE. download the best from the official site. The program is bulky, and installation will take a long time, but DriverPack Solution will be needed more than once.
- Check the system. This measure is more intended for reinsurance, but will not be superfluous. Scan your computer with sfc / scannow and clean the OS from damaged files.
- Restart the computer.
If the AppHangB1 error still appears, try rolling back Windows 7 to its previous state. But do not forget about the timely creation of checkpoints – without them you can only worsen the situation. Another way to solve the problem may be to log in securely. The presence of a problem there also indicates possible hardware damage to the video card. You can also try to run the game or program using compatibility mode. For this:
- Right-click on the game shortcut.
- Open the “Properties” tab – “Works”.
- Run the program in compatibility mode with another operating system (it is better to choose earlier versions).
- Confirm the action and try to run.
ADVICE. compatibility mode helps in rare cases. It is better to resort to the above methods.
Well, the very last step, if nothing helped, will be a complete reinstallation of the OS, and preferably a “legal” version. We hope you have solved the problem. If not – you need to describe it in the comments, and we will try to help.
