Types of computer software

There are various types of computer software that can be installed on a computer. The types of computer software include web pages that are developed using languages and frameworks such as HTML, XML, PHP, Perl, JSP, ASP.NET and desktop applications like Microsoft Word, OpenOffice.org that are developed in C, C++, Objective-C, Java, C#, or Smalltalk languages. Broadly, computer software is categorized into three major categories: system software, programming software and application software. The role of system software is to provide basic functions for computer usage and help run the computer hardware. System software includes device drivers, operating systems, servers, utilities and Window systems. Programming software provides the required tools needed by a programmer to write a computer program and software using different programming languages. The tools include compilers, debuggers, interpreters, linkers and text editors. The role of application software is to aid in any task that benefit from computation. Application software includes software of many kinds such as Internet browser for the proper display of a web page. Other software that can be included in application software are business software, medical software, video games, word processing, simulation software, etc.

Issues related to computer software

There can be various types of problems that one might face in relation to computer software. It may not be possible for a user to call up a system administrator every time to get an issue resolved. This activity may take a long time besides being expensive as well. Sometimes the computer software might not work properly or might not even open. It can be due to the absence of some important system files or when the computer software gets corrupted. It can also be due to some compilation problems that might have taken place during the programming of the computer software.

Ways to resolve computer software related issues

The problem that occurs in computer software might be due to a virus infection. The moment a virus attacks a computer, it first affects the C: drive, where the set-up and program and application software are installed. When any virus affects a computer, it may delete some set of system files. Some .dll or .exe files can also be deleted by the virus. So the related computer programs might start facing problems while functioning. Reputed and regularly updated antivirus software can tackle this issue. So the user should install suitable antivirus software on his system and update it regularly. All the drives of the computer, including the system drive, should be scanned by the antivirus and the threats which are detected and quarantined should be deleted. Sometimes the computer software might also fail to start without any specific reason. This only happens if one or more files from the installation file are corrupt. To fix such problems, the software needs to be uninstalled and then reinstalled. If the computer software does not work properly even after reinstallation, the computer should be formatted.
