Solved How do I resintall the Windows 7 Calculator?

michaelsp9 · Jan 25, 2011

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 !

maranello · Jan 25, 2011

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

are you sure that you don't have a calc.exe in windows\system32?

Brink · Jan 25, 2011

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.

First tell us how did you un-install it?

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.

You're welcome mate.

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.

Hmm, odd. As a test, download and merge the .reg files in step 2 Option Two and step 3 Option Three in the tutorial below, then restart the computer to see if that may help.

Thanks Brink.
I'm currently battling with several different tasks:

Copying >400 GB of files to external HDDs
Battling with a weird network problem, so I'll be busy for a few hours.

Once I get this chaos under control, I'll try your suggestion.

I need to resize some partitions (hence the copying) so I was thinking about reinstalling my operating systems.

Brink · Sep 8, 2012

Oh my. Sounds like fun. I hope that's not a USB 2.0 external HDD. May take a while.

lehnerus2000 · Sep 8, 2012

Indeed

I'm afraid so.

I opted to copy most of the files to my friend's PC via the network.

What will be more fun is trying to get AHCI to work with XP.
When we tried to install XP on my friend's new laptop (he needed it for a program at his work) we spent a week trying different solutions and none of them worked.

Brink · Sep 8, 2012

Good luck.

lehnerus2000 · Sep 11, 2012

Fixed by OS reinstall

Brink said:

Thanks.
I reinstalled my operating systems over the past few days (a 3 or 4 hour job, which took an entire day, due to weird SNAFUs).

Slipstreaming the AHCI drivers into XP worked 1st time. :party:

My friend and I weren't able to get that to work with his new laptop (despite spending multiple days trying multiple suggestions).

Unfortunately I wasn't able to sliipstream any updates (apart from SPs) into my XP install disc.
The W7 slipstreamed disc totally "spat the dummy", so I had to perform each step separately.

I didn't get to try out your most recent suggestion.

The calculator problem is fixed now though.

Brink · Sep 11, 2012

I'm glad that it went relatively well though.

Hi,

There's another calculator here if you are interested

Thanks for that link.

It looks interesting.

SysWOW64 calc.exe

Re: Lehnerus2000 post

After reinstalling Win 7 64, my calculator looked similar to your 07 Sep 2012 screen shot:

In addition to the illegible result, it also had background bleed-thru in the display field and between the keys. Basic or Aero theme doesn't make a difference.

This has been reported by others, who usually just give up and install a replacement calculator.

I finally fixed the problem by running:[FONT=&quot]
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\calc.exe[/FONT][FONT=&quot] version 6.1.7601.17514,

instead of: [/FONT]
C:\Windows\System32\calc.exe [FONT=&quot]version 6.1.7600.16385.
