Is there any way to find all of the registry keys installed by a particular 3rd party software in windows xp.as i am just curious to know how some trial version software do not work even after unistalling and deleting registry keys related to it and then re- installing it.
Firefox stopped working after the latest update and reinstalling latest and previous versions doesn't repair.Using the control panel I uninstalled again. A utility program says I have some 80 entries in Registry with "Mozilla." FF is my one and only Mozilla product so I'm guessing something in one of the80 is the problem. The utility, JV16PT, will erase them. Is this safe? I will reinstall FF and let it make new, and hopefully good entries.
I've found the registry keys for the Windows XP ICF Firewall Configuration. It's located in Firewall Policy. That's for everyone's reference. However, I wasn't looking for that registry key. I was looking for the registry key that contains the same type of configuration, except specific to a adapter.
While surfing through the internet I found someone who solved this problem and has a way to fix it. There are 2 registry keys in the registry that are causing the problem. It affects the explorer.exe and iexplorer.exe files.This is the key that needs to be deleted. Once these keys are deleted the desktop and internet explorer should come back to life.I was looking on here to see how to bring my desktop/icons back up.my pc will boot but itll get to where the desktop should be and all i see is the wallpaper not even the taskbar appears....ive tried Last Known Good Config and safe mode.still nothing.so from readin that post above,i concluded they had the same problem and thus now ahs the solution.my question: how do i get to delete them registry files from jsut a command prompt(brought through windows task manager(ctrl+alt+del))?also i can't afford to system restore,i have all ym importent bill files and money records adn what not on their.i have this pc and that oen entworked...but sicne the explorer.exe don't laod up and bring up the deskltop i can't access the files on that pc because it says location unknow using my network place!
problem is system slow responding when system starting up getting blank (grayed colour) for few second then taking some time to finish the process. i never have faced this problem bfore.. i hav scaned spyware and virus but found nothing. i think problem is from missed of registry keys.
A couple of days ago I was changing a few keys in my registry in order to fix my reoccurring DSO Exploit problem, when I noticed several keys for programs that I had uninstalled many, many moons ago. Why aren�t these keys removed when you uninstall the software? Is it safe to delete these keys, now that I have uninstalled the software?
The utility I use on my computer (a 3GHz P4 running Win XP) is SystemSuite 7. Like all utilities, it has a registry cleaner. However, every time I do a registry cleanup, four keys show up as empty and are automatically checked by the program for deletion, but when I hit the "Next" button to delete everything that's checked, those four keys cannot be deleted because "Access is denied". As I say, all are reported by SystemSuite as empty. I've checked them and they are indeed empty. I tried booting into Safe Mode as Administrator to delete them using regedit, but access is also denied in Safe Mode. How can I get rid of these? SHOULD I get rid of them (i.e., even though empty, do they server some obscure purpose)?
This will sound really like a really stupid thing to have done, but basically i followed a troubleshooting article on the microsoft website to try and fix an error on my PC, (every time i shut down i get a big blue screen thing). Part of what it suggested was removing a number of files from the registry. I did this but unfortnatly i seem to have just made things worse. The error message still appears when i shutdown but now i seem to have deleted something needed for my CD drive as this now says that the regisry is corrupted in its error box. Is there any way of getting the files i deleted back ( i did not make any backups).I am running windows 2000 and the files i deleted were Cdralw2k and Cdr4_2k
I then went in the control panel and changed everything. Next I went back to the registry and deleted the key and imported my saved one.however, the settings did not go back to what I want.
I unfortunately deleted 3 reg keys @ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMIcrosoftDirectx and now I dont have DirectX, accordng to dxdiag. I have tried to download several packages from Microsoft,(directx_9c_redist.exe), opened it and run dxsetup. This however does not change anything. I have also tried to run it directy from 2 videogame cd's, but with the same result. I really need help, I cant play stalker.
I am managing a Windows 2003 Server Domain with Active Directory/Group Policy. I have reviewed my GPOs and I know that the problem does not exist with GPOs.
I have to change a file association via changing a registry key directly. I know how to do programmatically. What I need to know is what registry keys need to be changed. Specifiically I need to associate the file extension jsp with Internet explorer.
Was looking at Registry settings for Internet Explorer 6 Security HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternetSettingsones and noticed that the same Keys and Values are in HKCU|SoftwareMicrosoft|Windows|CurrentVersion|InternetSettingsones but do not have same data in the Values.Also see that Zones is in HKU hive with similar settings.Appears that settings in HKLM are used, but I was curious if anyone knows this for sure and if anyone knows why the duplicate keys and Values but different data.
I was uninstalling a prog that had a trojan in it. I deleted the registry keys and such;manuelling removing it because the Explorer.exe would shut down every time I tried to do it the old fasion way Wink So, I was going through, and I accidentally deleted the Uninstall registry key Which has led all the installed progs to not show up in the Add/Remove Programs gui that's in Control Panel.And so, I am wondering if I have to wait until tommorow to do this, when I have the windows cd. Or if I'm able to just do some other recovery.I restarted and held down F8, and did the "Last known good configuration" thing, but it said I had to replace hal.dll.
In an attempt to remove malware, I accidently deleted some registry keys and am unable to log back onto my user name. I had exported the entire registry (*.reg) prior to screwing with the registry. Can somebody help me figure out how to restore my registry to the previous condition. Doing an import doesn't work.
While trying to delete some spyware off my computer I accidently deleted something and now the interenet doesn't work. There is a connection but somehow none of the internet applications work. I was using adaware and the add on LSP explorer. I deleted the Name space providers specifically the TCPIP and UDPIP.
I was not able to install a new version of an engineering software package because something was left behind in the registry from the older version that I had removed. So I stupidly deleted a couple of registry keys that looked related to the software without documenting them (not just the tags, but the folders with the long alphanumeric strings). Now when I try to install the software it gives me an error. I ran system restore but the problem is still there (I don't think it restored the registry keys I deleted). Is there a way to install all of the default Windows SP2 registry keys or to download and reinstall SP2 in general?
I'm having a problem with installing service pack 2 and can't seem to fix it.I formatted my hard drive last night and installed Windows XP Professional. I then downloaded SP2 and started to install it, the install gets as far as "Updating the Registry Keys" and then it just sits there... It doesn't crash, doesn't start not responding or anything like that, it just sits there and does nothing. Last night i left it sitting for 3 hours and it still hadn't done anything, this morning it's been sitting for about 55 minutes and still nothing.Any thoughts on what could be wrong?
My Norton AntiVirus just upgraded from v2008 to v2009.Several weirdnesses ensued: 1. At the Windows Welcome screen, arrow keys could move the user selection up & down, but no alphanumeric keys made any visible entry (dot) in password field. Clicking Shut Down and restarting corrected this (for now, anyway). 2. The [Start] > [Log Off] > [Switch Users] button is missing. This would be a straightforward fix, except that 3. In Control Panel, User Accounts lacks "Change the way users log on or off"! [Is XP SP3's REAL purpose to hose up a nicely-running XP SP2 box, so the owner will FINALLY spring for a Vista system?] 4. Clicking any of the "Learn About." links opens the help page in IE7, but with its contents crowded to the left and the yellow bar at the top. Clicking to allow blocked content (Are you sure? YES!) results in yet another dialog about an ActiveX control that "might be unsafe" but the only new ActiveX control on this PC is one from Symantec, installed during the NAV 2009 upgrade. NAV 2009 was the FIRST product I've run into that did NOT permit its EULA to be selected, printed or saved. I like to keep a record of things I've agreed to, but that text was out of reach! Sixteen screenshots later.
The full guide along with all pictures is here, click me. Opening the registry editor This is step number one, just opening the editor to view the registry. This is easy, just click on the start button and then on run. Once run is open, type in regedit and click OK. Navigating the registry Once you have regedit open, it is fairly easy to get where you want to. Now you see the "folders" HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, HKEY_CURRENT_USER, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKEY_USERS,and HKEY_ CURRENT_CONFIG First lets get some basic terminology down.
My husband bought a new laptop, and his old one we gave as a gift to my brother that lives in another country. How can we transfer the ownership of the old laptop to my brother's? Windows XP home E. and all the other programs installed are registered in my husband's name, logon screen etc.
I was just wondering wondering what all I can do to keep my computer running as fast and as stable as possible. I am aware of the basics such as antivirus and spyware protection. I also run CCleaner regularly to keep my registry clean and keep unnecessary clutter from building up on various applications.Does anyone have any additional ways to keep everything running top notch?
I have Windows XP.While I was working, an invasive "Utility" window popped up which I couldn't get rid of. Now, after restarting, my desktop showed one of my filed pictures 8-ply. I replaced it by my regular desktop picture, which, however, is now 4-ply.How can I get it back so it's just one single picture?
I brought a 400watt power supply from eBay it has the sticker on the side that lists the power but i want to make sure that it can actually give 400watts because i know that it isn't too hard to change the sticker or change the case and replace the internals with the internals of a 250-300 watt PSU are there any tools that i can use to check if the power supply can give 400 watts? it is a PSU made by ultra.
