I involve assist w/ a corrupt registry-I enjoy a window xp recovery disk but hold never used it?
It started several months ago, my system 32 files pop up (a) startup-so I ran a free scan of my registry and it shows over a thousand errors-the free downloads one and only fix a few of them in the trial version-I DO enjoy a windows xp recovery disk, but I am afraid I will do more make worse that good. I hold tried to use the restore feature, but the lone dates it will consent to me select are for this month only-the pc is 3 years elderly...I tried to toggle back a year or so, but the month on the calendar is stuck on December. (I be under the dent that restore points auto-set when new programs are added ?)
If I attempt to install flash on my subsidiary user accounts, I get errors truism a system 32 file can't be found.
I own used the uninstall program from adobe and reinstalled it then run c-cleaner, cleared cookies, I have rebooted, in step all user accounts to enjoy admin. privledges, tried everything I can find online with no luck. Can someone sustain, please?
Answers:
The recovery disk might allow you to just repair the Windows installation, some do and some don't. Contact your PC businesswoman and ask them.
LOL windows sucks... im roughly speaking to install linus on my compuer!
wipe your hard-drive and start from new.... immediately i am not 100% sure about the recovery system for XP but i own a few methods to try...
1: just put the xp recovery disk within the disk drive and see if it will start up a program to wipe your HD
(if option 1 does not work try 2)
2: put the xp recovery disk within the disk drive then shutdown your PC linger 30 seconds and power it vertebrae up and it should start the recovery program.
(if 1 or 2 do not work try option 3)
3: accessible up your PC take a magnet and touch everything beside the magnet
(PS: do not ever ever do option 3, unless you want to ruin your PC)
Without any details its pretty strong to give suggestions on fixing/repairing/cleaning your registry. I use Ccleaner also and i've never have it not clean up registry errors when I run the Issues portion of the program...
On the issue of your recovery compact disc it will most likely supply you two options... a repair recovery which will attempt to repair or replace corrupted files to fix your installation, if this works you will not lose any of your files or different program installation. the other option is a destructive recovery which clears your concrete drive of all files (reformats) and reinstall your system backbone to day one status. But you will lose and files, email, etc that are on your system that you haven't back up.
If you decide to do a full destructive recovery do yourself a favor first... your installation of XP may not hold come with SP2 so you should download the SP2 installation database from microsoft and burn it to a cd and run it before you ever hook your computer to the internet.. not doing so will expose your computer to some nasties in minutes of logging on to the net.
