I have windows XP Professional on my PC celeron 1.2 ghz, Mercury 810, 256 sd ram. I think my PC is infected with a virus that doesn't let me access Registry Editor, Group Policy Editor, MS-Dos from windows and all those vital tools. As soon as try to access them the system restarts automatically. Moreover, my antivirus program doesn't detect any virus (may be this too is the work of a virus). Has any body any idea what this problem is? Is this the work of a virus? If yes, I would like to know how to detect and eliminate this virus.
I want to know what the best Registry Editor is for Windows XP Pro. I have this annoying site that is redirecting me to porn sites. I wanna know how to get rid of it. I am guessing using a good Registry Editor will do it?
In my Internet Explorer under the view I still see the option for the Roboform toolbar although it is grayed out. I have removed this program, and I thought I got all of the remnants. Should I keep looking for files to delete somewhere, or would I need a registry editor to remove this reference?
Yesterday i was adding some new "keys" on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesDirectoryshell to add the option " open in a new window" while clicking on a folder with the right button.I did something wrong and now when i double click on a folder it can't open and windows "search" appears instead.What can i do to open again folders with the double click?
Should file names in the merge registry entries dialog box look like this? The real path to this file is C:Other FilesRegistry Backups. I've been using the Command Prompt (cmd.exe) recently; could that have anything to do with this? I just can't remember if file names always looked like that.
On WinXP Pro I can access "gpedit.msc" to change the QoS bandwidth to speed up my DSL connection. Unfortunately gpedit is not available on WinXP Home. Is there a way to change it through the registry?
whenever i try to open regedit (the registery editor) does not stay open. i need to delete lines from it since i have recently had a virus but it will not stay open for me to do so.
there's two ways of achieving this. The easy way: 1. Create a .reg file and name it to whatever you think might fit. (create an empty .txt-file and rename it to whatever.reg) 2. Rightclick it and choose "edit". 3. Paste the following into it:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDriveshellDefragCommand]@="defrag.exe %1 -f -v" 4. Save and close. 5. Doubleclick it and answer yes/ok to the questions. 6. Rightclick a drive and choose 'Defrag' to defragment it......
For some reason, my user account in Windows XP says that I do not have administrator privileges, even though I am registered as a Administrator. Because of this, i cannot use command prompt, disk defragmenter, and registry editor. I use Windows XP Pro, with SP2.
Start the Registry Editor by clicking Start, Run, and type "regedit" (without quotes). Go to this key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory Management On the right, locate the ClearPageFileAtShutdown value. Right-click the value, select modify, and change the data value of the registry key to 1. If the ClearPageFileAtShutdown value doesn't exist, add it. Right-click the right side of your specified key and add it as a DWORD value. Then change the data value to 1. Restart for your changes to take effect. Note: Your shutdown time may slightly increase.
how can i enable the registry editor for the Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition, when i type in run command it gives me the message "registry editing is disabled by your administrator".
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.
I have a server that has decided to goto sleep over Xmas. The screen is black and you can't access anything at the console. I can remote into the server, but I get the same black screen. The software suppliers for the application on the server have requested we remote into the registery. We have tried this in house before atempting to access the server and have not had any luck.
Disable the Windows registry editors, Regedit.exe and Regedt32.exe.If this setting is enabled and the user tries to start a registry editor, a message appears explaining that a setting prevents the action.To prevent users from using other administrative tools, use the "Run only allowed Windows applications" setting.START > RUN > GPEDIT.MSC > USER CONFIGURATION > ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES > SYSTEM > FIND PREVENT ACCESS TO REGISTRY EDITING TOOLS > RIGHT CLICK > PROPERTIES > CLICK ENABLE > OK > REBOOT
I have a buddy that cannot start his computer because he has a corrupte system32 registry file. i have fixed this problem before on computers but i cant do this one. when i insert the xp cd and go to the recovery console i can not proceed with typing in the commands. usually when you go to the recovery console it asks for the administrator password, but when i do this to his computer it doesnt ask for it. it just goes to the c:> command line. then i try to type md tmp command and it says access denied..
I recently removed all of my file extensions with my Registry Cleaner,now I can't access anything except my browser and Email program.I was trying to clean stuff off of my computer I didn't need I just got a little carried away.I have a backup of the files on my Registry Cleaner but I can't access it,what can I do?Is there any other way to gain access to my Registry Cleaner where I can get to the backup?When I say I removed all of my file extensions I mean every single one.
I logged on to my system today and all of sudden.I am no longer the administrator of my computer...the RUN command has dissappeared, I can't edit the registry, and I can't access the task manager.I've come across some other solutions to fix my the registry and task manager but I can't fix those until I can access the 'RUN command' to execute these other methods.
I just moved out of my parents' home and am now a province away. they need to install new virus software but can't figure out how to uninstall the old stuff. i tried helping them but failed, but i've heard you can remote access a computer in winxp and do stuff like that. can anyone tell me how? we're both using winxp, don't know if the fact that I'm using a laptop and they're on a desktop would make a difference.
i got windows xp home and im unable to enter my desktop or login, when i start up i get to the windows xp home logo and the process bar, but after that everything turns black and stays that way forever.i can't enter safe mode, the computer simply dont let me, i tap the safe mode options key, f12 for me, not f8, but the screen never shows up, it's like it doesnt register the key is there, i can tap f8 to get the booting options and f1 for bios options, but not the safe mode.
this happened after i found a virus in winlogon.exe, the AV deleted it and that is when things got messed up, although i have done this before actually, but then i just repair installed windows and everything went back to normal, but when i try this now, it doesnt work, it installs windows all over again, the blue screen and the yellow progress bar, but when it's suppose to reboot and then continue the installation
it has locked me out from changing it. Initially, I was unable to access my task manager screen until I ran Windows onecare scan. it cleared up the virus but I still cannot get into my regedit (it states registry editing has been blocked by your adminstrator). My background change occurred as a part of this virus....
Just recently, I've been getting lots of "So-and-so encountered a problem and needed to close". For "So-and-so", read "Windows Login UI" or "Namo Web Editor" or "Run a DLL as an App", etc.
