System32 is a directory that is used and required for Microsoft Windows.If you use Windows, it's need of System32 working in order for your computer to run properly.system files that you use to run your computer are stored in the System32 directory,which is why so many of the errors you receive may be led by System32.The System32 directory won't usually cause any problems by itself, so if you are receiving an error with a System32 file, you need to search for that file to resolve the problem. Go to Start, Search and then choose All files and folders to search for the file that is giving you trouble.

System32 is a directory service that is required on any Microsoft Windows system.System 32 is the folder that runs your computer. which is located mostly in C drive.If it is deleted, your computer won't work.System 32 is essential for your Windows Operating System.And for your error try to restore your computer to an earlier setting (using System Restore) and do a Virus Scan with a good Anti-Virus. -If you are unable to restore your system I would recommend going ahead with the Anti Virus Scan and then doing a System Recovery after you have cleared all the Temp Files etc... by using Disk Cleanup.

System32 is a Microsoft Windows system directory.Windows error messages will contain the system32 directory because many of the system files Windows uses to run or very important file are stored in this directory. By itself, the System32 directory will not cause any errors unless it is missing.system32 folder should not be touched if you don't know what you're doing. The folder holds hundreds of critical system files that Windows needs to run correctly.
