Windows 10: Discord Cannot open due to fatal Javascript error.

I recently just got a new PC and when I tried to run discord, not only did it not work, but I also received this weird error message, just wondering what are some possible causes and possible fixes for this.

Weird "fatal javascript error" when trying to install Discord......

TLDR: Anyone know what is causing this weird fatal javascript error?

Hi guys. I am trying to reinstall some programs after doing several system restores yesterday to undo an unwanted software update that was forced on me by one of my programs. I had to restore several times, as I think my Windows may have been (and still may be) corrupted. I got 1 blue screen of death during one of my system restores and it automatically system restored again I think over 20 minutes or so. I finally got the computer back to what I thought was a good state. I installed several programs with relatively little problems. I am now trying to install a voice chat program called "Discord" though, and even when I fully uninstall it, when I try to reinstall it or open it, I'm getting this error that I'm linking here. I think this all happened because I (foolishly) tried to modify my system registry to get rid of the blue checkmarks in the shortcut icons yesterday. It worked for a while, but after I did that system restore, it seemed to have messed up my computer in the way I described earlier. Before I changed the system registry, I did a "Registry Save", but when I attempted to use that save to "Export" into my registry to restore it, it said I did not have permission to do it. So anyway, does anyone know what is causing this fatal javascript error? Is my Windows corrupted now? Any help would be great, thanks.

 

Fatal Error

I've been trying to format my system but right after it finishes formatting I get a Fatal Error during the Windows installation process. That Fatal Error is a Data Error (cyclic redundancy check). I know that it's because of my hard drives, but how do I fix this issue? I have 2 Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB SATA II Hard Drives in RAID 0. Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. *Smile

Hi Vulcons, I'm Graeme, an independent adviser here to help.

There are a couple of directories you can delete when you're getting installation errors with Discord. Deleting the directories should clean up the problematic files, allowing Discord to be installed again.

Here's a link to a Discord tutorial that explains what to delete:

There are a couple of extra troubleshooting steps at the end of that article too.

Once you've tried this, please let me know if you're still having trouble! Thanks!
