If you can’t find your calculator, it’s probably gone. If you’ve never used it before, or if it’s been in storage for a while, it might have been lost in the shuffle. Either way, don’t panic! There are a few ways to find out if your calculator is gone for good: -Check the battery level. If the battery is low or has stopped working, your calculator might be gone for good. -Check the screen and see if there are any signs of damage. If there are any tears or dents, your calculator might be gone for good. -Try calling customer service. Many calculators come with customer service numbers that you can call to get help if something goes wrong with your calculator.
- If you have a Windows XP or higher computer, you can use the Recovery Console to restore your calculator. To do this, first make sure that your computer is turned on and connected to the Internet. Then open a command prompt window by pressing the Windows key + R and typing cmd. In the command prompt window, type cd C:\Windows\System32\config and press Enter. Next, type rstrui.exe and press Enter. This will open the Recovery Console window. In the Recovery Console window, type net use xpsp2: \ computername \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon and press Enter. This will connect your computer to your calculator’s user account folder (AppData\Roaming) in Windows XP or higher. Next, type cd \ computername \AppData\LocalLowest and press Enter to go to your calculator’s local user folder (LocalLowest). Finally, type copy * .dll files from C:\Windows\System32\config* . Press Enter to copy all of the .dll files from your computer’s System32 folder into your calculator’s LocalLowest folder. When you’re finished, close the Recovery Console window by pressing Ctrl+X and Y, then click Yes in the confirmation dialog box that appears. 2a If you don’t have a Windows XP or higher computer, you can try using a third-party software program like Recover My Files to restore your calculator.

Method 1 – Reinstall Calculator (Windows XP)
The second method is a bit more complicated, but it’s worth it. You’ll need to create a new shortcut on your desktop. Click on the New button and enter the following into the text field: C:\windows\system32\wbem\wbemcli.exe -command “netstat -an” Now click on the OK button and you’re done!
Accessories and Utilities: -Details button When you click the Details button, you will be able to see all of the available accessories and utilities for your device. ..
Now click on Accessories and click the Details button again. Now make sure to check the Calculator box.
XP will reinstall the calculator if you can’t get a hold of a Windows XP disc. If you can’t get ahold of XP, try the second method.
Method 2 – Copy calc.exe (All Windows Versions)
The second way to get Calculator back is to copy the calc.exe file over from another machine to your C:\Windows\System32 folder. Additionally, copy calc.chm to c:\Windows\Help.
After you have the calculator working, you can just create a shortcut to the calc.exe file on your Start Menu or wherever you like. If you can’t find the CHM file, don’t worry, all you really need is the EXE file.
If you get an error message when trying to copy files to the System32 directory, you need to make sure you open Windows Explorer as an administrator.
To open Windows Explorer as an administrator, start by typing “explorer” into the Start menu and pressing Enter. Next, right-click on the Windows Explorer icon and select “Run as Administrator.” ..
With an administrator rights Explorer window, you can copy and paste the calc.exe file into the System32 directory.
Method 3 – Download Calculator from Microsoft
If you can’t get Calculator to work on your system, download it from Microsoft now. This works on all versions of Windows. ..
The default interface of the app is terrible and you’ll be shocked by it if you download it. It’s purple and has oval buttons and looks terrible.
If you don’t like the Calculator app that comes with Windows 8 and Windows 10, you can download this version and use it instead. ..
You can also click on View and choose Standard to remove the conversion options on the left and just have the old standard calculator.
Windows 10 comes with a built-in calculator app by default. If you don’t have it, you can download the app from the Microsoft Store. ..
Method 4 – Use CD and SFC
If you have a Windows XP CD, you can also try running these two commands from the CD: X is your CD/DVD drive letter. ..
If you’re not running Windows XP, you can try running system file checker (SFC), which is a built-in command that checks all the system files to make sure they exist and are not corrupt. You can read my previous post on how to use the SFC command in Windows. If you have any questions, feel free to comment. Enjoy! ..
