Registry Mechanic Does Not Delete Registry Entries
Jul 13, 2006
I tried to delete the registry entries which were bad, I had 30 of them, but the these two will just not go away, even by doing them manually, such as saving as a backup then deleting it manually and remerging. They just show up no matter what I do, or so use programs like Registry Mechanic, which I found only mediocre, very far from the ratings. to delete these two entries somehow from someone who is actully knows how to without using several so called registry cleaners, which only work partially.
I have entries in my Windows XP Professional Registry that are no longer needed. When I try to delete these entries the registry editor will not allow me to delete the entries. Is there a way that I can delete/remove these registry entries?
I run Windows XP Home, SP 2, with all patches and upgrades through the latest MS Update. I use an HP Pavilion Desktop. I have extensive realtime spyware/antivirus protection and scan daily for viruses and spyware. I think the machine is clean. I have used a 3rd party uninstaller program for about 8 months. It will detect 9 invalid uninstall entries--they are Registry Keys
Have uninstalled Mobile Phone Tools for Motorla as it wasnt working properly. I have cleaned out everything except there are a few Motorola Modem entries in the registry that wont go. Do I need to get rid of these before I re-install? I want the comp to detect the phone as new hardware. If I need to remove the entries how can I do it when it tells me no?
I want to backup my Autocomplete User Names and Passwords, Web Addresses, and Forms entries in the registry. What are the registry addresses for these items?

I have been having some trouble with my PC slowing up. Even to go into microsoft office /word takes a couple of mins. I have down loaded Registry Mechanic and its has found 220 faults, 74 to do with shared DLL and 138 in deep scan. My question is first of all is this software any good or is it a money spinner for the owner Secondly is there anything out there
I have recently installed and used Registry Mechanic and decided to accept to repair abut Four Hundred faults as I noticed I could reverse the repair if there were any problems. I am delighted to say that there were none but I noticed that the box for repairing shortcuts was not ticked. On ticking it I was found to have about four hundred faults again connected with shortcuts, can I safely repair these problems as I did the first lot or should I know about something before I decide to use the repair function again, I would be grateful for some advice as I am new to Registry Mechanic
I ran registry mechanic V5 on my office XP machine. It ran smoothly and when I chose compact registry and it finished, it asked me to restart windows, I accepted, and it restarted, after the windows logo, the screen goes blank (black) and does nothing, I restarted again, and chose last working config, the same thing, screen goes blank, and when I restart using any of the safe mode configs, the screen not only goes blank, but there is a blinking cursor on the upper left corner,
I tried to run a Repair install of the Windows XP CD, but, I don't have the "R" option in there, only "ENTER" to Install, "D" to Delete the currenyt partition or "F3" to exit. I don't know how to work with the Repair console I also would want to know what happened if there was no error reported
Have got some registry entries in HKCU root folder that I have never seen before I have recently installed Net Framework 3.5 and Visual Basic 2008 Express, these entries may have something to do with one or both of these installs.

We have an XP Dell 8200 computer with service pack 2 security update. We would like to get Registry Mechanic however we currently have the following on our computer: Norton Internet Security 2005, Webroot Spysweeper, Ad Aware SE professional edition, We are seriously concerned about compatibility issues. Should we be so concerned
I have been using "System Suite 4.0", but see SS 6.0 has been released. Rather than jump to upgrade SSuite, I wonder about the comparative value of "Register Mechanic", "Error Killer" and "PC On Point". Is there a site that routinely reviews and perhaps rates system utilities
I have a registry entry that keeps respawning after numerous attempts to remove it. Is it possible to keep a registry entry from loading or keep it from even getting into the registry. The entry in question is:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMainBandRest
I have noticed rather a lot of duplicate entries in my registry I enclose an example below, can I delete them? AcroPDF.FDF AcroPDF.FDF.1 the CLSID data is exactly the same.
I have got two startup entries that cant be deleted. HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun They have the ability to clone most startup entries, and they cant be permanently deleted. Over the last year I have downloaded and ran multiple scans, with various malware applications from quite a few web site help forums.None gave any indication of malware present, but I suppose you cant rule it out. The first time I notice something odd was with Misconfig, I had three startup entries for SISUSBRG. I deleted two of them and disabled the original one. The next time they re-appeared was as 1 and 2 program entries
It started when I went to open a program that I've used reliably for years -- it started hanging, became unresponsive, and started sucking up all of my virtual memory. I uninstalled and reinstalled a clean copy, and the same thing happened when I tried to load it.I've since completely uninstalled the program, deleted all of its remaining files from my system, removed all of its registry entries.
I now have one folder that I cannot access, for no apparent reason. It's just a folder where I've got quite a bit of video stored (77 clips equalling roughly 13GB). Attempting to open it now results in explorer.exe sucking up all of my system resources until it (explorer.exe) crashes and restarts. (CTRL+ALT+DEL shows Memory Use and VM Size skyrocketing to 700,000+)
Hello, folks. I'm having a little trouble removing some corrupted registry entries found with the Uniblue RegistryBoost scanner. It was able to remove the other 667 entries, no problem, but these 3 just don't want to go away:
Quote: Scan subsection: System drivers Entries found: 2 Entries: Entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesCreative Service for CDROM
I've deleted software from my PC. I used the uninstall process that came with the software. I've had to delete the reference in my Program folder. I noticed that the registry still has at least one reference to the deleted software. How can I identify all registry references created by this software and how could I delete them?
I need to create a batch file to resolve a backup issue I'm having. I need a batch file to run before and after backup to correct the issue between Veritas and Backup Exec.http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/275013.htm
From time to time, I visit my registry. The following odd entries are new since I last looked. They appear to be empty and maybe even corrupt.Are they safe to remove? Is there any program that would identify these and mark them as removable? this is XP Sp2, if that matters. Only keys like this are in this hive.
