Using Registry Repair Tool To Fix Your Computer

[Guest jeremiah wright]

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....

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!

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.

So why, if you feel so strongly, did you feel the need to include the spam

in your response Harry? Could you not see that Mike and Shane both went to

the trouble of editing it out of their responses?

You said it Harry! Will you ever learn?

 

How long have you been around these NG's?

 

We know that you never have any time, but for once, just think before

pressing the Send button! Delete the spam or use the Block Sender option

and forget it. But please don't perpetuate it. jeremiah wright must be

rubbing his hands with glee - unless you're on commission?

 

Update! - But now I see that you're not the only one!

Save as e.g. bckupvxd.bat

 

========================

 

@echo off

cls

if exist c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe goto end

if exist c:\windows\scnrgini.bak goto end

if not exist c:\windows\scanreg.ini goto end

cd\

c:

cd windows

copy scanreg.ini scnrgini.bak

echo.>>scanreg.ini

echo.Files=11,vmm32.vxd >>scanreg.ini

:end

cls

exit

cls

 

 

========================

 

Then run it. Thereafter every day when scanreg runs, backing up the

registry, it also backs up vmm32.vxd.

How do you suppose the spam way down the bottom, that you have to scroll

down to see, affects anything, Mart? Unless there is some point about

snipping it I'm unaware of. I think you'd have to put forward a pretty

desperate argument to justify this. Since that same email address has been

in use for this since at least January, I've reported it. Maybe that will

achieve something. If it does not, well, perhaps I should see if Don Quixote

is still available?

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

made even one sale as a result, then it's been worth his efforts.

Saves it being perpetuated - at least by a factor of one.

Hardly a 'desperate argument' but even you went to the trouble of deleting

it in your first post - hence, model amunition for my example to Harry.

Justification enough?

Let's hope so. (Even more justification?)

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.

 

Thank you,

Re: Using Registry Repair Tool To Fix Your Computer

 

You could try Start | Run and type "Msinfo32" (no quotes) in the box and

press Enter to see if it works that way.

 

Might also be worth taking a look at :-

"Description of Windows Millennium Edition System Information (Msinfo32.exe)

Tool"

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278449/en-us

as a starting point and see if that points you in the right direction

This is what I mean by 'desperate'. Anyone going to that much effort to find

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.

Not sure what that means. But if it's what it looks like - no. You can't

really have 'even more' than none. What is required is Microsoft and Yahoo

(and other parties with actual power to do something about it and an

interest in doing so) to block it and more to the point close a known

account that has been spamming since at least January. Acting like a

typecast traffic warden doesn't help.

Re: Using Registry Repair Tool To Fix Your Computer - Addendum

 

Thank you Mart!

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.

 

To sum it up, I guess I can live without System Information. Thanks again!

 

Ed

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.

Your reasonimng makes a lot of sense Arturo (!).

It gives me encouragement to feel a lot less guilty about my 'misdeed'.

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!

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!

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!

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
