System.ini — How To Fix Errors [SOLVED]

Most system.ini errors are the result of a missing or corrupt version of the file installed by Windows. A large percentage of these file issues can be resolved with downloading and installing the latest version of your INI file. As a last measure, we recommend using a registry cleaner to repair any invalid system.ini, INI file extension, and other file path references which could be causing the error message.

In the list below, you can download the most recent file versions for nearly all Windows versions, including some for %%os%%. If we do not currently have your required system.ini version available for download, you can request a copy by clicking «Request» below. If you’re unable to find your file version in our database below, we recommend reaching out directly to Microsoft.

These types of errors will normally stop occuring if the correct system.ini file version is placed in the right location, but you should double-check that is the case. Try re-opening Windows to see if the error message still appears.

How To Fix System.ini Errors

Below is a list of troubleshooting steps to resolve your system.ini problems. These troubleshooting steps get progressively more difficult and time consuming, so we strongly recommend attempting them in ascending order to avoid unnecessary time and effort.

Please Note: Click the [ ] image to expand the troubleshooting instructions for each step below. You can also click the [ ] image to hide the instructions as you proceed through each step.

Step 1: Repair Registry Entries Associated with Windows

Sometimes system.ini and other INI system errors can be related to problems in the Windows registry. Several programs can share the same system.ini file, but when these programs are uninstalled or changed, sometimes «orphaned» (invalid) INI registry entries are left behind.

Basically, what this means is that while the actual file path may have changed, its incorrect former location is still recorded in the Windows registry. When Windows tries looking up these incorrect file references (file locations on your PC), system.ini errors can occur. In addition, malware infection may have corrupted the registry entries associated with Windows. Thus, these invalid INI registry entries need to be repaired to fix the root of the problem.

Manually editing the Windows registry to remove invalid system.ini keys is not recommended unless you are PC service professional. Incorrectly editing your registry can stop your PC from functioning and create irreversible damage to your operating system. In fact, one misplaced comma can prevent your PC from booting entirely!

Because of this risk, we recommend using a registry cleaner to assist with this process. Using a registry cleaner automates the process of finding invalid registry entries, missing file references (like the one causing your system.ini error), and broken links within the registry. A backup is automatically created before each scan, with the ability to undo any changes in a single click, protecting you against the possibility of PC damage.

As a Microsoft Silver Partner, we provide software that can assist you in removing these issues:

Caution: Unless you an advanced PC user, we DO NOT recommend editing the Windows registry manually. Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows. We do not guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To manually repair your Windows registry, first you need to create a backup by exporting a portion of the registry related to system.ini (eg. Windows):

1. Click the Start button.
2. Type «command» in the search box. DO NOT hit ENTER yet!
3. While holding CTRL-Shift on your keyboard, hit ENTER.
4. You will be prompted with a permission dialog box.
5. Click Yes.
6. A black box will open with a blinking cursor.
7. Type «regedit» and hit ENTER.
8. In the Registry Editor, select the system.ini-related key (eg. Windows) you want to back up.
9. From the File menu, choose Export.
10. In the Save In list, select the folder where you want to save the Windows backup key.
11. In the File Name box, type a name for your backup file, such as «Windows Backup».
12. In the Export Range box, be sure that «Selected branch» is selected.
13. Click Save.
14. The file is then saved with a .reg file extension.
15. You now have a backup of your system.ini-related registry entry.

The next steps in manually editing your registry will not be discussed in this article due to the high risk of damaging your system. If you would like to learn more about manual registry editing, please see the links below.

We do not claim any responsibility for the results of the actions taken from the content linked below — complete these tasks at your own risk.

Step 2: Conduct a Full Malware Scan of Your PC

There is a chance that your system.ini error could be related to a malware infection on your PC. These malicious intruders can damage, corrupt, or even delete INI-related files. Furthermore, there’s a possibility that the system.ini error you are experiencing is related to a component of the malicious program itself.

Tip: If you do not already have a malware protection program installed, we highly recommend using Emsisoft Anti-Malware (download here). They offer a malware removal guarantee that is not offered by other security software.

Step 3: Clean Out Your System Junk (Temporary Files and Folders) With Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr)

Over time, your computer accumulates junk files from normal web surfing and computer use. If this junk isn’t occasionally cleaned out, it can cause Windows to respond slowly or provides an system.ini error, possibly due to file conflicts or an overloaded hard drive. Cleaning up these temporary files with Disk Cleanup might not only solve your system.ini error, but can also dramatically speed up the performance of your PC.

Tip: Although Disk Cleanup is a wonderful built-in tool, it will not completely clean up all of the temporary files on your computer. Other programs that you frequently use such Microsoft Office, Firefox, Chrome, Live Messenger, and hundreds of other programs are not cleaned up with Disk Cleanup (including some Microsoft programs).

Because of the shortcomings of the Windows Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr) tool, we highly recommend using a specialized hard drive cleanup / privacy protection software to clean up your entire computer.

As a Microsoft Silver Partner, we provide software that can assist you in cleaning up your temporary files:

How to run Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr) (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

1. Click the Start button.
2. Type «command» in the search box. DO NOT hit ENTER yet!
3. While holding CTRL-Shift on your keyboard, hit ENTER.
4. You will be prompted with a permission dialog box.
5. Click Yes.
6. A black box will open with a blinking cursor.
7. Type «cleanmgr» and hit ENTER.
8. Disk Cleanup will begin calculating how much occupied disk space you can reclaim.
9. The Disk Cleanup dialog box will appear with series of checkboxes you can select. In most cases, the «Temporary Files» category will occupy the most disk space.
10. Check the boxes of the categories you want to clean and click OK.

Step 4: Update Your PC Device Drivers

System.ini errors can be related to corrupt or outdated device drivers. Drivers can work one day, and suddenly stop working the next day, for a variety of reasons. The good news is that you can often update the device driver to fix the INI problem.

Finding the exact driver for your system.ini-related hardware device can be extremely difficult, even directly on the Microsoft or related manufacturer’s website. Even if you are experienced at finding, downloading, and manually updating drivers, the process can still be very time consuming and extremely irritating. Installing the wrong driver, or simply an incompatible version of the right driver, can make your problems even worse.

Because of the time and complexity involved in updating drivers, we highly recommend using a driver update software. A driver update tool ensures that you have correct driver versions for your hardware, and also creates a backup of your current drivers before making any changes. Maintaining a driver backup provides you with the security of knowing that you can rollback any driver to a previous version (if necessary).

As a Microsoft Silver Partner, we provide software that can assist you in updating these drivers:

Please Note: Your system.ini may not be related to hardware driver problems, but it’s always a good idea to ensure all of your PC device drivers are up-to-date to maximize PC performance.

Step 5: Utilize Windows System Restore to «Undo» Recent System Changes

Windows System Restore allows you to «go back in time» with your PC to help fix your system.ini problems. System Restore can return your PC’s system files and programs back to a time when everything was working fine. This can potentially help you avoid hours of troubleshooting headaches associated with INI errors.

Please Note: Using System Restore will not affect your documents, pictures, or other data.

To use System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

1. Click the Start button.
2. In the search box, type «System Restore» and hit ENTER.
3. In the results, click System Restore.
4. Enter any administrator passwords (if prompted).
5. Follow the steps in the Wizard to choose a restore point.
6. Restore your computer.

Step 6: Uninstall and Reinstall the Windows Program Associated with System.ini

If your system.ini error is related to a specific program, reinstalling Windows-related software could be the answer.

5. Click on the Windows-associated entry.
6. Click the Uninstall/Change on the top menu ribbon.
7. Follow the on-screen directions to complete the uninstallation of your system.ini-associated program.

After you have successfully uninstalled your system.ini-associated program (eg. Windows), reinstall the program according to the Microsoft instructions.

Tip: If you are positive that your INI error is related to a specific Microsoft program, uninstalling and reinstalling your system.ini-related program will likely be the solution to your problem.

Step 7: Run Windows System File Checker («sfc /scannow»)

System File Checker is a handy tool included with Windows that allows you scan for and restore corruptions in Windows system files (including those related to system.ini). If System File Checker finds a problem with your INI or other critical system file, it will attempt to replace the problematic files automatically.

To run System File Checker (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

1. Click the Start button.
2. Type «command» in the search box. DO NOT hit ENTER yet!
3. While holding CTRL-Shift on your keyboard, hit ENTER.
4. You will be prompted with a permission dialog box.
5. Click Yes.
6. A black box will open with a blinking cursor.
7. Type «sfc /scannow» and hit ENTER.
8. System File Checker will begin scanning for system.ini and other system file problems (be patient — the system scan may take a while).
9. Follow the on-screen commands.

Step 8: Install All Available Windows Updates

Microsoft is constantly updating and improving Windows system files that could be associated with system.ini. Sometimes resolving your INI problems may be as simple as updating Windows with the latest Service Pack or other patch that Microsoft releases on an ongoing basis.

To check for Windows Updates (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

1. Click the Start button.
2. Type «update» into the search box and hit ENTER.
3. The Windows Update dialog box will appear.
4. If updates are available, click the Install Updates button.

Step 9: Perform a Clean Installation of Windows

Caution: We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve system.ini problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately (download a highly-recommended backup solution [MyPCBackup.com Download]) to protect yourself from permanent data loss.

This step is your final option in trying to resolve your system.ini issue. Reinstalling Windows will erase everything from your hard drive, allowing you to start again with a fresh system. Furthermore, a clean install of Windows will also quickly clean out any and all «junk» that has accumulated over the normal usage of your computer.

Please Note: If system.ini errors still persist after a clean install of Windows, your INI problem MUST be hardware related. If that is the case, then it is likely you will need to replace the associated hardware causing the system.ini error.
