Error 1000008e is generally what is known as a hardware or memory conflict error. These error messages can happen when a computer is first put together, new hardware is added to the system or when something has happened to any number of critical software programs on the system in question. What the exact error message is that follows Error 1000008e can tell you from where the problem starts.
This error message can happen at almost any time at all when you are doing any number of things on the computer. You could be writing something, surfing the web or playing a video game. When this happens there really isn’t much to do aside from look at the possible causes to see how to fix it.

When the reason for the Error 1000008e comes up as being a registry issue, there is a way to restore the computer to a previous state and that is called the Restore Point. You can make a restore point manually in Windows but, generally speaking, for the average computer user, having it done for you is a lot easier.
The registry is essentially a big database that is used by a Windows based computer that stores all of the setting information for a computer. Whenever a computer starts, it goes through the registry to make sure it sets up the system the same way it was when it was turned off. The registry also stores all the information about all the programs installed on the computer.
When your computer boots up it goes through the registry for all the information and data it needs to load up to make the system load up properly and work. If there is something entered wrong in the registry, the system can fail to load and an error message just like Error 1000008e can pop up and ruin the day.
There is a program called RegCure and its main function is to fix errors and mistakes in the registry. When RegCure scans the registry, it removes invalid and useless entries, re-organizes the registry so it works faster and fixes entries that are incorrect which can cause any number of error messages to pop up.
It will not only do that but, it can create a backup of your registry in case a problem arises with the registry in its current state. RegCure can also make a restore point for you so that you can return the computer to a point before Error 1000008e becomes familiar to you.
