In addition when i go to a website i must enter www or it doesnt connect to the site. on my other computer i can do that. what can i do to fix it??
The registry on one of my computers is corrupt and if I try to copy the files from the WindowsRepair folder using the windows system repair tool, I'm told the files cannot be found. One possible solution I thought of is using the registry files from my other computer running Windows XP. I don't even know if this is possible, but if it is, how can I transfer the files. I would put them on a CD but the CD drive won't open when the system repair tool is running, and they're too big to fit on a floppy disk, even one at a time (the system and software files are both over 2mb.)
A friend told me to scan my registry for Wineries and lo and behold I found something: My ComputerHkey_Current_UserSoftwareMicrosoftSearch AssistantACMru5603 In this... there is a file named: 002 and 003 one is called Cache one is called Wineries. Their types are REG_SZ
I have files on my Win 2k machine that I Exported Registry. With my new XP machine, I would like to import them. How does the Registry know where to put them (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKEY_USERS, etc.)?
I am trying to add this to registry(open). It says that cannot import certain file.reg The specified file is not a registry script. You can only import binary registry files from within the registry editor. Here is the script I was given to fix my flash player.
Since January my computer started getting error messages about corrupted files, corrupted registry, and drivers stopped working. I tried different things and ended up formatting my hard drive and reinstalling Windows. Things were fine for a while, but after a week I started getting messages about corrupt files again, having issues with drivers, and now Windows won't shut down properly. Also, the computer powers off of its own accord sometimes. I'm using Windows XP Home Edition SP3. I haven't made any hardware updates recently.
Some of the error messages I've been receiving are. For Bluesoleil (which I have uninstalled and reinstalled) it says that the file is corrupt and to try an anti-virus scan (I tried to copy the message, but the window went off on its own). AVG anti-virus keeps on saying there are no active components, or replacing all the commands with things beginning with @. The drivers for my Logitech Fusion webcam stopped working, but I've reinstalled them, and they work, for now. The Microsoft Kernel Wave Audio Mixer kept on corrupting. I've also had the message 'Windows - Registry Recovery One of the files containing the system's Registry data had to be recovered by use of a log or alternative copy.
I just ran my 3B Registry Repair Pro and it scanned the last couple thousand files 8 or 9 times...usually it scans somewhere around 30000 files (just a guess, takes about 13 minutes), this time it scanned like 60000 files and took 35 minutes. I was trying to update my ActiveSync, but it wouldn't finish. Then the computer wouldnt shut down. I ran Norton One Button Scan on a restart, and it didnt find anything. Im super nervous about viruses and spy/ ad ware, so ive got and use all the stuff everyone here says to use. im stumped.
I am on the computer in one room, networking with a computer in another room.I know you can export registry files onto your hard drive. Do you then have the other computer's regedit import that file?

Im trying to install all in one printer on my laptop, but the installation won't start because it's missing three registry files. It's missing slbcsp.dll, sccbase.dll, and gpkcsp.dll. Anyone know where I can get them or get past this?
I restarted my computer and now i cant open any of my programs.It appears the links are missing.for example, in the program files menu (start > all programs) there are no icon pictures anymore just blank icons.when i double click to open .exe files nothing occurs.(the problems occured after i restarted my computer and messages popped up asking if i wanted to change registry settings for a variety of different things so i said no to all messages)

I was running CyberScrub the other day, which is a program that cleans out internet cache and deletes files beyond recovery. After it was done with the procedure, the computer restarted and chdisk began to run before my Windows XP booted up. After Windows was done doing chdisk, it started doing some wierd stuff I've never seen before.It was scrolling down with the same line but with the number increasing into the thousands. I thought maybe it was just doing a routine check but when I when my desktop came up I started to notice all kinds of wierd errors now. Here are just some examples: My taskbar disappeared and there's no way to conventionally fix it (Start doesn't come up when I press the windows key on my keyboard). My soundcard is undetectable. I can't copy and paste from and to my browsers. Can't find my RPC server. I can't move my desktop icons, etc.
i downloaded this program from major geeks called 'RegScrub XP'. i assumed that it locates and deletes registry entries that are old and not in use.so in the program, on one of the tabs, i think it was 'user defined...' (or rather), i located all the registry entries and then deleted all of them.so now all the files and programs on my computer cannot open. all of the icons in the start menu and everywhere have that unspecified icon image, and when i try to open it it says - use the web service to find the appropriate program
i downloaded "Demo Version" Jv16 Power tools 2005 from a link to find duplicate files and clean my registry, I thought that programs I had uninstalled and reinstalled for varius reasons were all duplicated with missing files. The download didn't have the handbook which i found out later i needed so now after running dup. file finder, reg cleaner. I have a very unstable system nothing stays stable and there is a mass of backups I don,t know where to start. The forum there won,t help. supposedly I got a old Beta version. My backups don,t look anything like there's. I would like to go back to before i installed with system restore point but i dont know if it can retrieve files from Jv16 backup or what.
What is the best software to get rid of adware and/or viruses. I have done everything, I have norton and spy ware, but it seems all temp files are locked and I can not get rid of the. This happened going to a site to sell a motocycle and this si slowing my system down.
I have spyware that is in my registry. I have run spybot & adware but cannot get this spyware to be removed. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to find spyware in my registry? Where it is located?
I am about at the end of my rope with my daughters computer. She has AdWare or whatever. I have run Spybot S&D v1.2, Spyware Doctor v3.2.1, Microsofts Anti Spyware v Beta 1 and Ad-Aware SE. I have run them all numerous times and the last time I ran As-Aware, it didn't find anything I've taken our over 600 bugs. After all of that, when I connect to my ISP either FireFox or IE, the screen goes crazy with adware screens and I get continuous IE errors. I have all the MS updates.
I've been having tons of trouble trying to remove spyware and adware from my computer, I've tried multiple different programs but have been unable to clean them all out.
I have spybot, Ad-Aware SE, a2 squard, Norton antiVirus, CW Shredder and Just Downloaded Spyware Doctor. All updated. Ran all and none of them found anything except Ad Aware found Data Miners and tracking cookies. Got rid of them. Then I ranSpyware Doctor and it came up with these.
I'v recently had a lot of virus, spam, adware problems with my pc. After a vain attempt to clean it up I reinstalled the OS. Now whenever I try to access my old desctop/my documents folder I get an 'access is denied' error. It is an NTFS file system.
