View 4 RepliesMy registry is corrupt and Windows Installer is not functional. I need the file discussed in this thread: Repair Windows Installer Service in Vista (All Versions) The links in that are posted are no longer valid. Can someone who has a functional Windows Installer (from a virus-free system, obvi) please post their copy of this file up online somewhere?

I added the key "DefaultIcon" to several file types as listed in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and set the data to the full file path of the icon I'd have thought that would work. I've restarted, and it did not.Where is the correct location & method?
2) Also: (once I get the correct location & make the edits) How can I create a registry file that will add the specified changes to an existing registry when clicked? Not save the entire registry, and replace it, just add the specified keys & data to install these icon changes. This should be at least good as a backup, for editing a new or reinstalled OS, and ideally (if possible) a file that can perform a smart operation by substituting or getting around the current system's user folder name.
My computer was working properly,then I had a power problem, my computer turned off and turned on again.Now my windows doesn't open. When I try to open I receive this message: Windows failed to start. File:windowssystem32configsystem Status:0xc000014c Info: Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing or corrupted.
Need to fix it without losing my files.I have a restore cd, but I dont want to use it, because I can't lose my files.The cd doesnt has the choice to repair windows.Just restore it. I am using Windows vista premium and my computer is Aspire E380 (Acer) It has C: and D: partition, but I dont know if it is 32 or 64 I already use all steps in F8 screen, safe mode....last configuration...anything didn't work.

Win 7 compatible - have used this and deleted all 1200 entries it found. It makes a backup - been running for several hours and reboots with no probs. Also working fine so far on my Vista x64 and Win 7 x86 installs. After cleaning you need to shut the app. and reopen it for it to find it's backups. (Easy to find them by hand - it can compress them to.7z files, too ). Have used their regdefrag a lot - identical scans and results to the Auslogics and Glary versions- so use whichever defragger you already have. WARNING: not recommended to defrag registry across drives.
Currently using Vista 64 Home Premimum. Can anyone recommend a good registry cleaner? I tried PCTOOLS and it promptly wrecked my registry.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using this program to clean up my registry and it seems to work fine except the errors keep coming back. I can do a scan, clean up all the errors and then shut down and start up and I have a new 20 registry error list and most or all of the errors relate to "bad path for the value" and its windows files that seem to be at fault. I don't understand why Microsoft operating system would create registry errors on a startup, before anything has been installed etc. is RegistryBooster misleading me or what. I am running win7 but it did the same thing on vista home premium so I think the question is valid for this group.

disk cleanup and the other option of deleting all the temporary internet

it has something to do with downloaded game data hiding somewhere I can't
find them!
I read the info on wikidpedia but I'm still not understanding what the registry is. Can some explain it to me in a very simple language?
View 7 Replies View RelatedOn my recently deceased computer, I had downloaded a registry cleaner many years ago. It was simply called "Registry Cleaner" and it was freeware.
Looking around the modern internet all the newer registry cleaners are for sale only.
The one had was terrific:
cleaned the registry, uninstalled programs, etc.
I installed a new registry cleaner, RegCure I think, ran it, cleaned like 12k errors, more than I thought I should have, turned off my computer and went to bed. I come back and its acting like windows 2000!
None of the services are working, I can't access the backups I made, and I can't use the system restore because the host program wont respond, or something I ran safe mode and got SOME of the drivers working again, as I thought I would, so it sort of seems my computer has amnesia Does anyone know how I can get more services to work without
reformatting my computer?
I've read in some posts that a registry cleaner isn't recommended for Vista,primarily because some can install malware instead of getting rid of it.
But I've got some issues with Vista and I swear it's from leftover software installations - such as SQL 2008 beta. I don't want to reinstall Vista because it's a pain in the butt. Are there any registry cleaners that are recommended as safe?
I'd like to know if deleting for example the any of the default "devices" registry keys, producing the result of unknown objects in DeviceManager, is there any way to right the system back manually.
View 9 Replies View RelatedA friend of mine has his Vista PC automatically installing an update, then reboots with no prompt before login any user. And that's looped forever. What's strange is it does the same in safe mode.
At present no session can be opened, nor even reached. Nothing seems to be possible.
I'm thinking I could alter/delete the RunOnce entry in the registry but I would either need
- an XP tool that can read a Vista registry from a file on a separate HD (yes, I would take the HD to my PC)
- or a Linux live CD tool (but I'm asking this question on a Linux forum) that could do the same
- or of course any other brilliant idea.
I am trying to add an entry to the registry, but am denied access. I tried running regedit as Admin, no good. I tried logging in as Admin, no good.
View 8 Replies View RelatedMicrosoft recommends using systempropertiesprotection for backing up the registry. Presumably, this backs up the registry to the hard drive. I think that it might be a good idea to have an external backup as well (CD-R). But how can one obtain this from systempropertiesprotection?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a problem, a corrupt entry in the registry. I think I may have to edit the registry (for the first time). I know how to do it, and which entries to delete. Before I do so, I can back up the registry, or I can create a restore point, or I could do both!

Now when I start the computer there are some dialog says that there are some problems on the reg and asks to restore the default value, and it keeps showing that dialog everytime I start the computer. I checked the event viewer, only seen the warning something like this:" Windows detected your registry file is still in use by other applications or services. The file will be unloaded now.

View 6 Replies View RelatedIn the Vista registry the left hand column lacks a reference to what item is being displayed in the right hand window. I.E.: It is difficult to knowwhat left hand branch is the parent of what is seen at the right...There is a minor reg hack that places a green ball, with a pointer inside,on the active left hand item, but I cannot locate that info.Anyone recall where the .reg file for this useful modification can be had?

View 7 Replies View RelatedMy media player 11 kept freezing when i'd try to rip more than 1 cd all of a sudden. I'd reboot then it would be fine again for only 1 cd. So i started reading forums on how to uninstall and reinstall media player. One said i had to delete the entire key from the registry then when i rebooted it would ask me to reinstall. It didn't happen. Now WMP opens and will play music but when i try to rip a cd it says it cannot do it and offers no reason. I'm running 32bit vista ultimate. I've tried the cumulative update for WMP but it says i have a newer version of it installed so it can't continue. Also i wasn't provided with a copy of vista with the computer so i cant reinstall that either can i?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI had an "issue" that warranted a look into the registry and so I opened it up and saw a lot of "weird" entries. Now, let this be said, I've only been using Vista for about a year and I never really went in the Vista registry before, so I'm not sure what a "weird" entry is by Vista terms, but these look weird. Please take a look at the attached image and give me your opinion. Is there something wrong here? If so, what should I do? I'm running Vista Home Premium SP2 32bit.
