i have a vbs script to update the registry, but i need to reboot after the changes has been applied,is there a way to update the registry after the changed has been made so that i dont have to reboot?
View 1 RepliesWhile windows was uploading some updates yesterday, I cleaned my registry using Iolo's system mechanic tool and that's where the problems started. (I already read and understood your message: don't use those tools and stay out of your registry. A lesson I learned too late, unfortunately.)My computer rebooted and after a couple of minutes I noticed the message: " failure configuring windows features reverting changes ". I managed to bypass this loop by running in safe mode and recover my computer to a restore point in the past. This only worked partially: I get windows to run in normal mode but I get this message: "system failed while restoring the registry from the restore point. Restore point damaged or was deleted during restore". So it didn't restore but I can get into my windows now.So I don't get the 'reverting change loop' anymore, so I can access my computer but what's the mess? Well my computer is slow as hell.Like mentioned above, I already looked around on this forum and wrote down what I already tried. [code] My computer is terrible slow because of a registry defrag/optimization of a registry tool (in combination with windows update) --> I need to find a way to get back my old registry files but system recovery ain't working.

I don't have DVD burner so I don't have the option of burning the .iso to a DVD. I tried setting up a different partition through 'Partition Magic' but was not able to.
Someone told me "The corrupted registry file needs to be repaired and would require performing advanced troubleshooting steps to fix the Windows Update issue" is there anyway i can get this fixed free? The problem this causes is that when i update the brand new windows 7 i just bought and i install then restart the computer so they can take effect ( Graphics Update ) After the Starting Windows Page my screen goes into sleep mode but i hear the starting windows noise. The computer technician told me "Just 149.99$ to fix this problem in one session" which makes me think i am really getting ripped off.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy problem is that while installing windows 7 the error "windows could not update registry data in the installation" keeps poping up during the "Installing updates" step, right after the "Installing feature" is completed. I downloaded the several iso from this and this webpages. Also tried USB and DVD (at 1X speed). Found great help on the SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation and Clean Install Windows 7 guides, I follow them every time I try an installation. But doesn't matter what I do the error "windows could not update registry data in the installation" keeps poping up.Since I have to keep using the laptop for work I installed Ubuntu 12.10 to finish some projects (worked fine for over a month, no problems) but now I have some days off and I want to fix this. Other things I have tried that didn't worked
*Using only 1 Ram slot
*Make sure that the HDD is first in boot priority
*Install Win XP
*Iso without ei.cfg

I put my copy of Windows 7 on a USB drive drive to install on my netbook and it gets all the way to the "installing updates" part when it says "Windows cannot update the registry" and the installation quits and rolls back the half-completed install.
I even press "do not update" at the very beginning when it asks if I want to install updates or not before the install.
I'm trying to install on a new partition from my current partition with Windows 7 starter because it doesn't appear that the netbook (Toshiba NB205-N230) has a USB boot option.
I've unistalled Amd Driver from Device Manager, Unistalled Catalyst software and ran Driver Sweeper. There is only 3 registeries that the Driver Sweeper CAN'T delete and these are under SYSTEM folder. I've tried to change user privilegies but this far I've not succeeded.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe update is called:
nvidia - Graphics adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Other hardware - NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M.
After installing it, whenever my laptop tries to use the Nvidia card, I get a blue screen and the system restarts. I looked in installed updates to uninstall it, and it is not there. I did a system restore to four days before I installed it, and I still get the same effect. Lastly, I installed some older nvidia drivers that used to work using the clean install option, and I still have this problem.
Is this file safe to have operating on my computer???
View 2 Replies View RelatedA while back, after successfully downloading and installing some updates in the Windows Update, it prompted me to restart the computer to finish the update installation process. However, I continued to use the computer for quite some time before restarting it, and then when it tried to configure the updates on the start-up screen, it showed that it was not successful in doing so. In the past, I noticed that this would typically happen when I did not restart the computer immediately (or within a short time) after the updates finished and I got the prompt to restart. I would have to go to Windows Update and do it over again, and then upon immediate restart, it would always work properly. But this time, it did not, and I keep getting the 8000FFFF error message instead.
Also, now, every time I start the computer, it shows that it's "Preparing to configure Windows... Do not shut off computer" (presumably the updates that never got completely and correctly configured) in the start-up screen... gets to 35%..fails... shuts down (screen goes black)... restarts again... tries to configure again, fails again, shuts down and restarts again... tries to configure again, fails again, and finally it apparently gives up and says "reverting changes" and finally goes to the desktop.I've looked at the answers in several threads at the answers.microsoft.com forum that were started by people with similar problems, and also tried several of the Microsoft "FixIt" files on the Microsoft site, but none of them worked. I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium.
I use iTunes because I have an ipod touch, iTunes wants me to update it before i will sync my ipod touch. It won't update it tells me to download only the update threw the software, I've done a google search and no one that posted a fix had one that worked, i've have this issue before and i tried to uninstall and reinstall itune and nothing worked.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a 60GB SSD that I have my operating system on and I have a 1TB regular Hard Drive that I wanted to have all my basic programs on. Once the operating system/drivers/etc were installed on the SSD drive I changed the registry so that the default filed installation location was the 1TB drive instead (because some files/programs don't ask what location you'd like to install them to). Afterwards I restarted the computer after installing a program. Now tons of my system 32 system files/programs wont open even though they're there. I get an error message saying "Windows could not find 'C:Windowssystem32egedt32.exe' Please make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again."
This is the second time it has done this. The first time I had installed a few more programs before restarted so I thought maybe somehow I got a virus that disabled some of my registry permissions. But all this stuff I can't open IS still there, but because I changed this the ProgramDefDir registry now it can't find this stuff. After this first time when I thought it was a virus I just went ahead and reformatted and reinstalled windows, but I noticed as soon as I restarted after changing the registry the way I wanted it before, the same problem occured.So, 2 questions come from this: first, how can I fix this? i.e. changed the registry back WITHOUT the default regedit program as it wont let me use it.. second: How can I do what I want efficiently without creating this problem? i.e. OS on SSD and every other program, music, and such on the 1TB drive?
About a week ago I tried to install Cyberlink Power DVD 10.I kept getting error message 1625,this installation not allowed due to system policy. I've gotten conflicting solutions and still no luck. As of today I tried messing with the registry and local policies etc...long story short, I cannot get past my "Starting Windows" window. It powers down, then powers back up and gives me the options of 'start windows normally' or 'repairs'. It will not start normally nor can it repair the problem. Have I done something heinous and can it be reversed? Is there a way to get it into safe mode, back to my desktop so I can restore the backed up registry.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've searched a bit here and there on the net regarding excluding certain folders and its contents from Windows Backup, since I would like to use Windows Backup to make a system backup without any user files, and use a seperate utility for backing up the user files.So I found out about this "FilesNotToBackup" string in the registry, and according to what I read, I can put full paths in there to exclude with the wildcard *.* /s. Which I did.But I found out it's not working, so it still includes the folders I added to that registry key to the system backup image. I noticed the system image in the "WindowsImageBackup" folder is the same size as the space used on my OS disk.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy new work computer, running Windows 7 is now unable to install software. I get various error msgs towards the end of installations. Usually some component or dll cannot be found. Aside from this inconvenience my system seems to be running smoothly. Our IT support guys have examined the system and have determined that my registry has become corrupt. They want to take my system and reformat it, and also run some intense hardware diagnostics. This is the second time this has happened in two months. I suspect these guys are just taking the easy option of reformatting rather than actual trouble shooting.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhenever I log on I don't see my own background, but just a regular Windows 7 background.Also, a lot of my icons are gone and the menu is in English, though it used to be in Dutch.I found out that I sould go to registry (regedit.exe) and than go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Profilelist.The next step was to delete one of the keys and rename the one with the same name +.bak (get rid of the .bak).But when I try to do so, I get an error, it says: cannot delete <name of the key>: Error while deleting key. So, I've tried to get permission by allowing full control, but than I get another error saying: Unable to save permission changes on <name of the key>. Acces is denied.what can I do to get access to registry? Is there anything left to do or is it best to just start a new account?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIve used DOS then Windows all my computing life (which happens also to be all my life) and i recently converted over to primarally using Unix Derivitives. Now Unix derivitives such as linux have a etc directory which stores all the conf and unmarked configuration files while DOS uses interdirectory INI files for configuration... WHile windows uses INI files, appdata directories in each user directory, a program data root directory, configuration directories in the windows/system32 directory AND the registery...... What is the point of it all, the registery is a great single point of failure and its redundant.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to understand the registry in windows 7. From what I read, the registry is the foundation of windows. Without those foundations, windows 7 could not work. How do i keep the registry keep and stable ? I came to the conclusion that it is impossible. Am i correct in saying that keeping the registry clean and stable is an impossible task ? Even more so secure. I am now using a piece of software that i bought to handle the registry for me. Once a week i run the software and once a week it corrects the errors that need to be corrected. In particular, i always have a lot of "COM/AcitveX/OLE" entries and "Empty Registry Keys". I do get "Empty Registry Keys". There are piece of software there were installed and then erased. When erased, some bits and pieces were left in the registry (something like that). What are COM/ActiveX/OLE ?Finally, I think WINDOWS is the most complex piece of software i have ever come across. I think it is so complex that an entire eco-system was built around it to make you shell out more cash:i.e. registry cleaner, anti-virus etc...
View 8 Replies View RelatedIs a registry cleaner necessary? On almost all of them I've used, it detects tens or hundreds of "problems" that need to be fixed, on freshly installed systems too. And after fixing them, if I run another scan, it finds even more! Does it make my system "faster" in any noticeable way? It seems to cause more problems than it fixes.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been using a registry cleaner that has removed some system keys. The computer runs most stuff okay, but I am getting some failures on things like the window that used to come up and ask what to do when I plugged in a usb. Researching this is how I found that some registry keys were missing. I have been trying to get to the install / repair the exsisting winows part of the install cd that comes up when installing the program. I did it once before, but haven't been abble to get there again. I am not talking about the first repair options that come up at first, like restore from a restore point or from a system image. It's the one that comes up during the install process where you can choose a drive and format. The repair choice in that section uses the install cd and not a backed up file. The registry cleaner I was using did back up the registry every time it was run, but replaced it with the new back up each time. and the system image was replaced a few days ago, so no help. By the way, I no longer use the registry cleaner
