12.1.3 Fixing the software
After determining what the problem is and where the problem exists, it is time to fix the software. Fixing the software will depend on what the problem was that prevented it from working. It may be necessary to copy some files from the installation CD of the operating system or a CD of an application that was installed back to the hard drive. It may be necessary to change some paths of the shortcuts to point to the executable of the application that was installed. Sometimes just reinstalling the software will repair anything that was damaged. It all depends on the cause of the software errors. This chapter will discuss many of these techniques, including which troubleshooting aids to use when trying to resolve software related problems.
