Jan 6, 2014

I used ccleaner on registry I saved before to documents, but I don't know how to merge, restore the files back where they belong.

HP pavilion g6-2225nr

Since this event my computer will NOT finish sfc/scannow,it starts and stops each time exactly at 22% and says Windows resource protection could NOT perform requested operation. So I did DISM.exe part 1 and it said no component store corruption. Part 2 said component store corruption repaired.

Maintenance :: Win 8.1 - Unable To Upload Files And ADW Cleaner Not Completing Action

Sep 15, 2014

I have recently purchased a laptop with windows 8.1. After I had to delete some search engines - apart from yahoo and google, I find that I am now unable to upload email attachments in my yahoo webmail and unable to upload photos in facebook. I don't know whether the 2 things are connected, I just noticed the problem after I had done this action. When I try to attach/upload I get a page telling me skydrive is unavailable, not the folders from which to chose file. All I can then do is cancel.

And btw, I had tried to get rid of the adware using adw-cleaner which hp had recommended but it did not seem to complete the action and after re-start seems to have vanished. I don't know enough to reconstruct what I did to delete the search engines, I don't think.

Maintenance :: Windows 8 Computer Freezes While Using CCleaner?

Jan 21, 2013

After two refresh and one clean install of Windows 8 within a two-week period, my computer freezes while I'm running CCleaner. It always stops at the same file:

CUserAppDataLocalTemp\_ME149482PyWinTypes26.dll

First few minutes, I can still use my computer, but after that, I cannot print, cannot open Task Manager, cannot shut down the computer. After numerous attempts, I'm able to close CCleaner, but my computer remains frozen.

Apps / Software :: Glary Utilities 1-Click Maintenance Breaks Webpages

Nov 30, 2013

Every time after I ran Glary Utilities 1-Click Maintenance, all my webpages are messed up when loaded for the first time. Refreshing once or twice fixes this, but the problem keeps repeating itself after I use Glary Utilities.

All webpages I load for the first time after running 1-click maintenance look like this:

Is Glary deleting cache files that Chrome depends on? Any way to work around this?

Apps / Software :: Uninstalled Firefox - Reinstall CCleaner?

Jul 25, 2014

I use CCleaner 4.14.4707 and recently uninstalled Mozilla Firefox from my computer few days ago. I've just realized that when I open CCleaner, I still see a 'Firefox' section at the left sidebar of the app, and there's a Firefox tab (containing some entries) in the Startup list, though the Firefox itself had already been removed.

I try to clean registry using Wise, and re-install CCleaner, but those things still exist.

How can I remove them?

High Contrast Breaks The Colors In IE / Firefox / Office

Nov 13, 2013

I have the high contrast option turned on for only one reason. The differences in colors of the active vs non-active window that is highlighted in the taskbar was too subtle for me and I often clicked on non-active windows.

Sadly this however resulted in IE / Firefox and Office (Excel & Word so far) be almost unusable. Excel has basically no colors at all no matter what is selected for either text or backgrounds. Office documents are either black or white, no colors come through at all. IE and Firefox are almost unusable.

Only Chrome ignores the high contrast option and uses its own styleset.

After running CCleaner v 3.27.1900, I am unable to Login to Facebook directly. Selecting the icon in my favorites, IE, only results in the loading icon, with no connection to the site. The same thing occurs when manually entering a search and selecting Facebook.

However, when I receive an email advising me of activity from one of my Facebook friends, I can select SEE COMMENT and go directly and quickly to the Facebook page.

Network / Sharing :: Windows 8.1 Breaks Network With Two WiFi Access Points

May 10, 2014

I have two wifi APs in the home and only one has an Internet connection. the other is to access the wired LAN.

Last week I updated from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 and thought everything was going well until I started getting wired LAN dropouts.

I have traced it back to 8.1 handling connection to wifi APs. In Windows 8, I was able to have "Connect automatically" for BOTH wifi adapters on this laptop. Now when I try to connect to the non-Internet AP, Windows 8.1 announces (correctly) "Limited access" and that's what Windows 8 did too. BUT, Windows 8.1 waits a few seconds then drops the connection with a useless message, "how me solve connection problems," where there is NO problem. A limited connection for the AP to the wired LAN is OK as it was in 8.

So now I am stuck with no home LAN access unless I drop the Internet AP and connect to the LAN AP.

Also, in the great wisdom of 8.1, because it is only a "limited" connection, it does not remember the Passphrase so I have to type it in every time. So much for progress.

What to do to get past this behavior and have a "limited" connection as OK as it is with Windows 8?

Windows 8.1 Registry - HKLM Is Not Always The Same

Mar 12, 2014

New laptop which was recently upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1

One issue might involve a registry edit so I began to look in the registry but I've noticed something odd when I run regedit. Each time I run it, what appears under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM) is not always the same. (I was looking for Components under HKLM). Here's an example running it 10 times.

I run regedit and under HKLM see 7 entries

BCD00000000
Drivers
Hardware
Sam
Security
Software
System

Then I exit regedit (without making any changes) and run it again and see that Drivers has disappeared leaving the other 6 entries. Exit and run again I see the same 6 entries. I repeat the exit and run again process seeing the same 6 entries each time, but on the 7th run, Drivers reappears giving 7 entries again. On the next run a new entry, Components appears (between BCD00000000 and Drivers) giving 8 entries. Exit and run again, same 8 entries but then on the next run Drivers and Components both disappear leaving the other 6 entries.

I just run another 10 times or so and each time has 6 entries (no Drivers or Components)

Does Windows 8 Automatically Backup Registry

Jan 5, 2013

I am seeing some vague references to older Windows versions automatically backing up the registry at startup and saving the backup in some folder..

Any definite information about this in Windows 8, and where any such backups can be found? How and when is the Windows Registry backed up in Windows 8?

If Windows doesn't do it, could you recommend a tool that can do it in the background on a regular basis? I really don't trust myself with this anymore....

Windows 8 Pro 64bit - Registry Entries Pointing To Wrong Folder?

Nov 19, 2012

I'm running Windows 8 pro 64bit on a self-build.

I was looking through the tabs of Autoruns and under the tab KnownDLLS it is showing that 3 DLL's loading via the Registry are not in the folders addressed - details are:

HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerKnownDlls

_Wow64 File not found: C:Windowssyswow64Wow64.dll
_Wow64cpu File not found: C:Windowssyswow64Wow64cpu.dll
_Wow64win File not found: C:Windowssyswow64Wow64win.dll

These DLL's can be found in C:windowssystem32.

I've looked at what Wow 64 does @ WoW64 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

why the Registry entries are pointing to the wrong folder?

Should I copy the Wow62 DLL's to C:Windowssyswow64 or change the Registry entries?

How create a repair rescue disk Windows 8 to restore Registry ONLY?

''Have a new HP Envy 15t-J100. Has a Recovery Partition. I created a Boot USB stick. Fine

I recall with other Windows versions & and such you could create a repair/rescue CD that basically allowed you to restore your settings to an earlier Registry Restore Point.

Will the Recovery Manager (on USB) do this as well?

How To Gain Access To Registry Stored On Dead Windows 8.1 Partition

Mar 20, 2014

I need to gain access to registry stored on dead Windows 8.1 partition (as mounted system volume backup). That means it's not directly bootable, I can only access it's file structure from outside. Now I'm curious if there's a software or procedure that can locate and load registry from it and display it in some exportable format like REGEDIT4.

Setup Installation :: Windows 8 - Registry Edit Required To Get Some Software To Work

May 12, 2014

One of our software providers has instructed us to make some changes to our Win 8 PC's registry to get the software to work properly. They have sent me details of what changes are required:

Open Windows Registry Editor (Regedit)
Right click HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT - click PERMISSIONS - click ADVANCED
Click/Check: REPLACE ALL CHILD OBJECT PERMISSION ENTRIES WITH INHERITABLE PERMISSION ENTRIES FROM THIS OBJECT
Double click the entries: USERS, CREATOR and ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES
For each entry:
TYPE: Select Allow Applies to: Select This key and subkeys
Click/Check: Full control and Read
Click OK on Entry detail screen
Click OK on Entries list screen

I know very little about Windows Registry other than not to touch it. These changes seem quite extreme.
