Guest John John (MVP) Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 No, Windows 2000 does not have a similar utility. To back up your registry create an Emergency Repair Disk (ERD) and select to backup the registry at the same time. Keep your ERD up to date, when you do major changes to your system create a new ERD.

Guest John John (MVP) Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Re: Scanreg for Windows 2000? By the way, your clock is still screwed up. Try running this DST patch, it should correct your entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones. http://www.intelliadmin.com/blog/2007/01/unofficial-windows-2000-daylight.html You said in another newsgroup that you were using a third party clock sync program, I suggest that you ditch the program, it seems to be screwing up your Windows 2000 time zone settings.

Guest DaffyD® Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Scanreg for Windows 2000? Windows 98 had a DOS utility--I think it was scanreg--for returning to a previous good copy of the registry. Does this also come with W2K? -- DaffyD® If I Knew Where I Was I'd Be There Now.
Guest DaffyD® Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Re: Scanreg for Windows 2000? Thanks, John. In Windows 98, I could make a startup disk but the ERD seems a bit more complicated. I have Acronis so perhaps I may not need an ERD. I'm trying the patch (which I think is similar to Gary Terhune's) in addition to the Dimension 4 software. BTW, I wasn't using Dimension 4 when I posted my question.

Guest John John (MVP) Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Re: Scanreg for Windows 2000? Making an ERD is pretty simple, it takes about 30 seconds to do, look in you Windows help files for more information. This disk (and the backup registry) can be extremely an valuable tool when certain failures strike! John DaffyD® wrote: > Thanks, John.

I've used Dimension 4 for years and it's never been a problem for me. Perhaps it's the specific server you have it configured for?

Actually, I don't think the problem is with D4. I think it does fix the time problem.
