Hi Roland,

FA.EXE is a type of EXE file associated with The Norton Utilities developed by Symantec for the Windows Operating System.

Sometimes FA.EXE and other EXE system errors can be related to problems in the Windows registry. Several programs can share the same FA.EXE file, but when these programs are uninstalled or changed, sometimes "orphaned" (invalid) EXE registry entries are left behind.

Basically, what this means is that while the actual file path may have changed, its incorrect former location is still recorded in the Windows registry. When Windows tries looking up these incorrect file references (file locations on your PC), FA.EXE errors can occur.

So, you can use a registry cleaner.

Registry Reviver will scan your Windows registry for problems. Registry Reviver can repair, maintain and optimize your registry to restore optimum efficiency and effectiveness to it, and to your PC.

Here's the link for the same:

2. You can clean up junk files to solve tihs problem.

  • Click the Start button.
  • Type "command" in the search box... DO NOT hit ENTER yet!
  • While holding CTRL-Shift on your keyboard, hit ENTER.
  • You will be prompted with a permission dialog box.
  • Click Yes.
  • A black box will open with a blinking cursor.
  • Type "cleanmgr" and hit ENTER.
  • Disk Cleanup will begin calculating how much occupied disk space you can reclaim.
  • The Disk Cleanup dialog box will appear with series of checkboxes you can select. In most cases, the "Temporary Files" category will occupy the most disk space.
  • Check the boxes of the categories you want to clean and click OK.
3. System File Checker is a handy tool included with Windows that allows you scan for and restore corruptions in Windows system files (including those related to FA.EXE).
If System File Checker finds a problem with your EXE or other critical system file, it will attempt to replace the problematic files automatically.

  • Click the Start button.
  • Type "command" in the search box... DO NOT hit ENTER yet!
  • While holding CTRL-Shift on your keyboard, hit ENTER.
  • You will be prompted with a permission dialog box.
  • Click Yes.
  • A black box will open with a blinking cursor.
  • Type "sfc /scannow" and hit ENTER.
  • System File Checker will begin scanning for FA.EXE and other system file problems (be patient - the system scan may take a while).
  • Follow the on-screen commands.
I hope this helps.

Regards,
Lokesh
