1. Connect to another website using the same browser or application that caused the Error 12029 message. Successfully accessing another website using the same software indicates that the web server being used was unavailable at the time. Web servers occasionally go down when they exceed a maximum number of simultaneous connections. All you can do is wait and try again later.
2. Open a command line window to verify there is no TCP/IP Address problem. On the Desktop, click 'Start,' then 'Run.' In the box type 'cmd.' Next, type 'ipconfig /all,' and a list of connections appears. Check in the IP Address, DHCP and DNS Server headings that there is an address for each one, a number in the following format: 123.456.7.8, or some similar variation. If so, the problem does not lie with the IP Address and you may proceed to step three.However, to fix a missing IP Address, DHCP or DNS Server, type in the command line, 'ipconfig /release,' and then type 'ipconfig /renew' for new addresses. If this still fails to assign new addresses, contact your Internet service provider.

3. Open a command line window to verify that you are not having a DNS Server problem. Click 'Start,' then 'Run,' and type in the box 'cmd.' Next, type 'nslookup website.com,' where website.com is the site you were trying to access when the 12029 error warning popped up. Any result of a nslookup that shows addresses in the following format is okay: 123.456.7.8, or some similar variation. Move to step four.However, if there are no addresses listed, type in the command line, 'ipconfig /release,' and then 'ipconfig /renew' to refresh the address. Try the nslookup again, and if there is still a problem, contact your Internet service provider.
4. Verify that your firewall is not blocking the connection to the web server that your application is trying to access. On the Desktop, click 'Start,' then 'Control Panel,' and click on 'Windows Firewall.' Choose the Exceptions tab and go down the list to find the name of the program you have been using that caused Error 12029. Mark the check-box to add the program. If this still fails to correct the problem, continue to step five.
5. Run a complete virus scan to locate malware and a registry cleaner program to fix any corrupt registry files. These solutions are the last line of defense against an Error 12029 message. As you may now realize, starting with these measures can still end in failure without having fixed the above problems first. After running a virus scan, and registry cleaner, reboot your machine.

1. Start your computer and then press the 'F8' key while it is starting up. This will take you to the 'Advanced Boot Options' menu. Scroll down to the 'Safe Mode' option with the arrow keys on your keyboard.

1. Check the index.html file in the server's web directory. If a client requests a page from a website hosted on the server, the index.html file for that site needs to be present or a 404 error will result. Multiple websites can be hosted on an Apache server and each need their own index.html file. If the index.html file is not present for the requested website, reload the index.html from a backup or rebuild the file. Attempt to access the resource again. If the page displays, the issue is resolved. If the page doesn't display, proceed to Step 2.
2. Verify the requested resource. Within the website's directory exists all the pages available for viewing. Verify that the specific page requested is present in the directory with the correct name. If the specific page does not exist, reload the page file to the web directory from a backup or rebuild the page. If the file exists, but is misnamed, rename the file to the correct name. Attempt to access the resource. If the page can be displayed, the issue is resolved. If the page still doesn't display proceed to Step 3.

3. Check the server root settings. The server root is the top level directory, which holds the server's log, configuration and error files. If the server root setting is varied from the standard, the server may not be able to find the requested files. For example, if the server root setting is set to '/var/www' a correction will need to be made to the configuration file so that the server can find the requested data. To resolve this issue, access the server's configuration file and add the line 'Document root '/var/www'' above the lines that read 'User www-data' and 'Group www-data.' Attempt to access the page again. If the page displays, the issue is resolved. If the page doesn't display, proceed to Step 4.
4. View the server's error log file. The error log file is where the Apache server will log any errors it encounters. The error log is located in the server root directory and can be accessed by typing into the terminal 'logs/yourwebsite.error' where 'yourwebsite' is the site's name. Examine all the errors to determine a common characteristic or variable that is causing the server to report 404 errors.

5. Repeat Step 4 until you receive the Unhandled Exception error again. Disable the most recently enabled add-on and leave it disabled. Alternatively, search online for an updated version of the add-on.
Reset Internet Explorer
6. Start Internet Explorer. Click the 'Gear' icon in the top right corner of the program and select 'Internet Options.'
7. Click the 'Advanced' tab, then click the 'Reset' button at the bottom of the window. A warning dialog box appears.
8. Place a check mark next to 'Delete personal settings' and click the 'Reset' button. Allow the browser to reset, then click the 'Close' button. Restart Internet Explorer.

1. Stop Windows from automatically restarting upon system failure; this will enable you to read the contents of the Blue Screen. First open the Control Panel, and select System (System Maintenance in Vista). Next select 'Advanced System Settings' (skip to the next step for Windows XP) and open the Startup and Recovery tab, and uncheck the box labeled “Automatically Restart” found beneath the System Failure heading.
2. Record the error when next presented with a Blue Screen. For example, “DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL”–in this instance it indicates that the error was caused by a hardware driver. After recording the error, restart your computer. You can find a list of STOP codes and their meaning in the references at the end of this article.

3. Start Windows, should Windows fail to load on restarting, press F8 during the boot process, and select “Load Last Known Good Configuration.” Once Windows has loaded, you should reinstall or update your device drivers. The most common causes of a Blue Screen are outdated or corrupt drivers for audio, LAN and video cards. First open the Device Manager located in the Control Panel in order to find out what drivers you need. Download the latest drivers from the manufacturers’ website, uninstall the existing drivers, and then install the latest versions of each driver.
4. Scan your system with an anti-virus program. In some instances, Blue Screens are caused by malicious software, if you suspect this is the case, perform a complete system scan, and remove said software. If this is the case, reformat your hard drive and reinstall Windows.
5. Reset Your BIOS to Default settings. You can do this by entering the BIOS menu during the boot process. To do so, press the delete key early in the process (the key may differ between manufacturers, consult your motherboard manual or the BIOS startup screen). When in the BIOS menu, select the load defaults option then press F10 to save and exit the BIOS.
6. Replace the memory. Blue Screen errors may stem from defective RAM, which may mean replacing the system RAM, processor RAM (in which case the entire processor must be replaced) and video RAM. (This step should be the very last you try, as it will cost you money.) If you must replace components, replace the components in ascending order of price.
