Solve : Registry Checker NIGHTMARE? |
|
Answer» This time a real catastrophy. Downloaded a registry checker, all 4mb, from Meta Products (who have not even answered call for help). At ShutDown and at StartUp I'm presented with blue screen as follows: Microsoft Registry Checker (MSN non longer supports) c:\windowa\system.dat Restore Desktop (check mark OK) Restoring Devices Listed IN ASP (check mark OK) RESTORING FILES/FOLDERS (no check mark OK) After about ten minutes the horizontal progress bar stops at 86%. Then box appears found an error cannot repair. Try reducing number of files , otherwise REINSTALL (a course of action I will do anything to avoid!) Point is I cannot get out of this screen. No cursor; no boxes of any kind. Must shutsoen, whereupon same thing restarts. At SAFE MODE I deleted anything about Registry with installation date 23AUG05. That is how I am now online. BUT THE SCREEN STILL APPEARS GOING IN OR OUT. Sometimes the error box doesn't appear and I'm in. Sometimes not, and I know not why. You can see this is a real emergency in dire NEED of some expertise. Failing resolution, and even if successfully resolved, please advise exact path at SafeMode that permits restoration (W98SE) to a given date -- in my case 22AUG05. I dare not shutdown day or night fearing inability to get back. Please help! Cordially, RO I don't think you can restore TJE registry from safe mode. You will have to boot to "command prompt only". Then type scanreg/restore. It will bring up a LIST from which to CHOOSE. Thank you, 2k dummy. The very last thing I want to do is to restore the Registry. I just want to get rid of that *censored* blue screen coming and going. Cordially,WHAT I FIND MOST DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND IS WHY THE BLUE SCREEN PRESENCE CANNOT BE REMOVED. If I could find its source (online), deleting it should effectively get rid of it because it will not have any source! As said, I have deleted anything downloaded/installed on date problem began. But STILL it appears. Any ideas you all?Have you actually uninstalled the culprit program? Download regclean and run it (from MS - relatively safe). Use start/find to search the system for left over directories or files. If found, delete them. Then use start/run/msinfo32. Click tools/system configuration utility. Click the startup tab. Uncheck anything that looks out of place (after doing this, a systen restart will be necessary). Be sure to click apply for each item unchecked. My first choice would be to restore the registry to a prior date. If you have rebooted many time during this process, you might not be able to restore the registry. Let your particular situation determine what to try first. |
