    How do I resintall the Windows 7 Calculator?


    I don't know how or don't know when but I guess I deleted the default Window's 7 Calculator.

    Can someone please help me reinstall it. Thanks !

    click on start, and in the search box type "calc.exe", then pin it to the taskbar or starmenu

    Hello Michael,

    If you do not have the calc.exe file listed in the C:\Windows\System32 folder, then here is a copy of it in a ZIP file below.

    Be sure to save the ZIP file to your desktop first, extract the calc.exe file to the desktop, unblock it, then copying it to the C:\Windows\System32 folder.

    Thanks Brink


    My calculator broke when I changed the display settings to 125% (the end of last year).
    It didn't recover when I changed the display settings back to 100%.

    Thanks for the file Brink. :)

    The Problem Persists


    That didn't actually fix the problem.

    This is a picture of the calculator at 125%.
    The replacement file does the same thing at 100% (the same as my currently installed calculator).



    Is there:

    • A Registry setting that has to be changed?
    • A dll that must be replaced?

    BTW, I can't copy the file to that location (owned by Trusted Installer).

    I tested Calculator at 125 DPI on my system, and it's not doing that.

    Did you change you fonts and/or for them to be bold instead of default?

    Customised Theme


    I tried resetting the theme and rebooting my PC:

    • Windows 7 Aero
    • Windows 7 Basic

    It made no difference.

    Only the Statistics display works properly.

    It's not a critical problem (I thought that I might try to fix the Windows calculator). :)

    I have a replacement calculator (Moffsoft FreeCalc).
    In some ways it seems better than the standard Windows calculator.
