Repair errors if any Microsoft have a program call microsoft fix it. It can be detect and fix some common computer's problem. It totaly free and you can search on google. There are some program for reparing pc such as tune up utility, but you must pay for it.

Recently, I had to replace my hard disk. When I tryed to instal Audacity from the source forge website, it says that the installation is successfully completed. But when I launch the program after that, it says some thing like, the application could not be launched due to improper configuration. Restalling the program may solve this problem. I tryed installing it many times & also tryed with different versions from the same website. But getting the same error dialog each time. Any solution? Would greatly appreciate your help in this regard.
