Guest jeremiah wright Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Do you need a Windows registry repair tool for your PC, because you know that there are most probably errors in your computer? I remember looking for cleaner software when my PC started giving me all sorts of problems too. Having top notch software to optimize your computer's performance at all times is essential. 1. What Is The Windows Registry? It is one of the most important components in the entire system, yet many PC users have no idea about what it is! It is not hard to believe though, since we have never been taught about how to properly maintain our registries. All the computer's software, hardware and user profile settings are stored in the registry, making it an essential component. Having a damaged or corrupted one will cause your computer to process very slowly, and in worse cases, crash frequently. It is especially vulnerable to errors and problems, which is why there is an increasing need for cleaner software today. 2. Why Do Errors Occur In The Registry? The main cause of problems is when there is an excess number of useless entries in the system. This is mainly caused by prolonged usage of the computer, and also by incomplete installation and un- installation of program files. Other cases could include spyware infecting the registry keys. If you find that you cannot access the registry area (you are greeted by an error message), it is certain that your registry is infected....

Guest webster72n Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Re: Using Registry Repair Tool To Fix Your Computer My personal experience is, if trying to 'mess' with your registry in any shape or form, you wind up with trouble, unless you know exactly what you are doing, and most users don't. To heed Mike's advice is the most prudent thing one can do in this regard (and others, for that matter), which is: leave the registry alone! Harry.

Guest Corday Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Re: Using Registry Repair Tool To Fix Your Computer The Reverend strikes again. Anyway, Windows ME has a Registry Replacement feature which if it finds an error can bring back a hopefully good copy. The following is a paste up of the instructions. You can also start Registry Checker by clicking Start, pointing to Programs, pointing to Accessories, pointing to System Tools, and then clicking System Information. In System Information, click the Tools menu, and then click Registry Checker. If your registry contains an entry referencing a file that no longer exists (such as a .vxd file), it will not be fixed by Registry Checker. -- I mastered Wordstar graphics!

Probably doesn't, except that it has an active url in the last line.

Guest Ed Meza Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Re: Using Registry Repair Tool To Fix Your Computer Hello, I have only used System Information once, and that was about 3 years ago. When I saw this thread -- and specifically your post, I followed your steps, clicked Systems Information and I got absolutely no response -- not even an error message. Questions: 1) Is my Win ME system clobbered? and is so, 2) How can I restore this feature? Note that System Restore, Scandisk, Defrag, etc. all are working well.

Justification enough? > There is no need to scroll to see the url in Harry's response. Not that it makes enough difference to justify a crusade. You talk like you have no conception of the scale of the spam problem. It is one thing continuing a pattern of behaviour because it has become habit - we all do that, it is part of the Human condition - but when you abuse others and make a serious effort to justify it, that is what the incident reduces to; not about spam, but about telling others what to do on the flimsiest pretext. So you might want to step back and take another look. No, one fewer - especially considering it will be such an idiot that it is astonishing how that person managed to find the url and then extract and click it - makes no difference worth it in any form of mathematics you wish to use. The only difference it makes is in terms of perpetuating behaviour based solely on maintaining a reassuring personal stagnation. >> I've reported it. Maybe that will >> achieve something. > > Let's hope so. (Even more justification?) Not sure what that means. But if it's what it looks like - no. You can't really have 'even more' than none.

I read your 2 posts. First, Msinfo32 does not show up on Start | Run. Second, tried restoring System Information from line 221 of Kelly's korner's link and it didn't work (Note I have Win ME) - Kelly's korner is for XP. I don't know whether that is the reason it didn't work. Finally I read all the other links, including the post of the same problem that I'm having (2 years old) - Tried to follow the instructions, but had no luck. Registered to the *FREE* Support Forum - addressed the question for a response and realized that they wanted money for their answer. Thus I opted not to continue. due to false misrepresentation.

Guest webster72n Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Re: Using Registry Repair Tool To Fix Your Computer - Addendum Re: Using Registry Repair Tool To Fix Your Computer - Addendum Maybe this will shed a little light on your problem, Ed: http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Windows/ME/Q_20690320.html You could try SR (your latest date), if you didn't already. Otherwise this is one 'for the experts' and you would have to use a batch file to fix it, IOW it involves the registry, according to reports. Hope this helps. Harry.

Guest Mart Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Re: Using Registry Repair Tool To Fix Your Computer - Addendum Re: Using Registry Repair Tool To Fix Your Computer - Addendum Ed, another way to invoke System Information is by opening "Help" and typing "System Information" in the search box I wonder you are able to confirm that Msinfo files do in fact exist on your box? My count is about 6 There's :- msinfo32.chm msinfo32.exe msinfo32.dll msinfo.htm msinfo.inf msinfo32.lgc located in various folders. When it runs, it opens in the "Help & Support Centre" window - just wonder if you might have issues with WinMe "Help"? I'm sure that there once was yet another way into SI, but that *may* have been Win95 or 98. Can't remember!

Guest Ed Meza Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Re: Using Registry Repair Tool To Fix Your Computer - Addendum Re: Using Registry Repair Tool To Fix Your Computer - Addendum Mart, Yes, all the data for System Information is there in "Help". However, it just does not want to show when going through programs|accessories| systems tools|system information. Don't know much about the registry files .ini | .exe | etc. Thus it is obvious that I'm limited with the registry knowledge. On the other hand, all the provided links (included Harry's, Thanks!) lead to forums that do not give a straight answer....unless you're willing to pay for it. Thanks again!

Guest Ed Meza Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Re: Using Registry Repair Tool To Fix Your Computer - Addendum Re: Using Registry Repair Tool To Fix Your Computer - Addendum Mart, You also brought up a point that I had neglected to mention. It was approximately back in June 18, 2008 when I installed "An Unofficial Windows ME SP" update/patch, which was published in this group (Can't remember the name of the OP). At that time, after installing the above, I posted to the group the fact that "Help and Support" was not showing up when getting into Safe Mode. A couple of attempts were suggested, but none worked. Thus, your comment on my having issues with Help & Support are right on! (Meaning, at that time, the files for System Information may have also been clobbered). Thanks!

Guest Mart Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Re: Using Registry Repair Tool To Fix Your Computer - Addendum Re: Using Registry Repair Tool To Fix Your Computer - Addendum Ed, I suppose you *might* have a faulty shortcut in "programs|accessories| systems tools|system information." FWIW - Looking at the shortcut's Properties, mine points to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSINFO\MSINFO32.EXE" But how that calls the H&SC, etc., I've no idea - my guess though, is that it relies on plenty of registry keys. And, IIRC - you were in conversation with Mike M in June, regarding the MDAC issues and I think you concluded then that you had registry problems. I suppose you could try scanreg /fix - unless you've got an SR point back that far - but that's really just clutching at straws. Fortunately, as MS usually offer more than one way of skinning the cat, you can at least use the H&SC to access your System Information. <g> Good luck Mart "Ed Meza" <tony_nospam24@q.com> wrote in message news:uufybJyCJHA.3392@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > Mart, You also brought up a point that I had neglected to mention.
