By: Harry Grace Home | Computers-and-Technology | Data Recovery


QuickBooks is a business accounting software developed and marketed by Intuit Contents. It provides several components to manage the financial aspects of our business such as company, employee, items, vendors, services, customer, etc. All such information is saved in a proprietary database file called QBW, which can sometimes get corrupted thereby disabling you from accessing important financial data. Such corruption scenarios can occur due to various reasons such as virus infections, power outages, header corruption, bugs in the operating system, etc. In such cases, you should repair the QBW file using in-built repair methods. If you are unable to perform Quickbooks repair, then you should use a third-party Intuit QuickBooks recovery software to recover and repairs corrupt QuickBooks file.

Consider a scenario where in you are working with QuickBooks 9. In this, you are trying to update the Payroll, but fail to do so. This error message is displayed as a result, that is:

Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
Select QuickBooks from the list and click Change/Remove.
Click Next in the QuickBooks Installation window.
Repair in the QuickBooks Maintenance window and click Next.
