226 Error Guide
Your 226 error could be caused by many things:
- RAM insufficient to your operating system needs
- Windows registry errors
- Malware infection is damaging files
- A corrupt temporary file
- Interrupted installation of software (program damage)
- Damaged Internet Explorer files
Whether your fix is easy or hard will depend on one thing: Can you tell where the problem is coming from?
Does the 226 error occur when you access a specific program only? Or does it happen constantly? Are you online or offline when the 226 comes up? When did the problem start – had you recently downloaded software or received a virus warning?

Without specifics, I can only give you a general troubleshooting guideline for the 226 error. But it will help the majority of people suffering from this 226 error to follow these steps.
1. Run anti-virus/anti-malware program. If you’ve got an infection, you need to isolate and remove it ASAP. Lots of people reporting the 226 error have a Trojan that is hogging up memory and therefore triggering the 226 error.
2. Get all the Microsoft Windows updates. If you can tell which program is triggering the error, then go to that program’s Internet site and get any patches or hot fixes they have developed, too. A good software manufacturer is on top of these problems. They should be developing code to help the thousands of people reporting the 226 error every month.
3. Use the Windows ScanDisc and Defrag tools. This will allow you to remove temporary files and also maximize your available memory. This is basic pc maintenance to help your system run at it’s best.
4. If you can tell what program is generating that 226 error, and the updates and patches did not resolve the problem, then you should back up your working files and uninstall the program. Reinstall it, with an eye on compatibility to your system, in order to get fresh, undamaged files back on your pc.
5. If you cannot tell where the 226 error is coming from, you need the help of a registry cleaner. Like antivirus, scandisk, and defrag, a registry cleaner is part of the utility kit you should be using to keep your pc healthy. A registry cleaner is specifically designed to repair damaged files inside the segregated core of your operating system. That’s where all the instructions that tell your pc how to run are located – the registry. All runtime errors come from the registry processes. So a registry cleaner repairs damage left behind by the malware your anti-virus removed, and/or it also fixes corrupted IE files, and registry files called dll’s that cause many runtime errors like the 226.
6. If you suspect that your RAM is unable to support the workload of your computer, then you may have to upgrade your memory. Before you do that, make sure you don’t have extra programs running in the background on your pc. So many pc’s come from the manufacturer with a dozen programs initializing at bootup! Completely unneccesary. Reduce those drains on your RAM before you shell out for the upgrade. But if you need more RAM, then you need more RAM!
So that’s the 226 error in a nutshell. Once you’ve got it resolved, you need to continue with those maintenance tasks on your computer if you want to avoid future errors and get the most speed and long life from your system. Take care of your computer so it can take care of you.
