Windows 95/98/ME Using Registry Repair Tool To Fix Your Computer

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?)

So it's a lost cause then? Oh well, I wont bother in future.

OK Harry! - Seems you can do as you wish. Although I'm not too sure if it

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,

Ed

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
the url and click it, will just look at the OP anyway.

This is meaningless and I don't believe you're incapable of realizing this -
therefore you are just waffling to avoid admitting it.

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

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.

Your reasonimng makes a lot of sense Arturo (!).
It gives me encouragement to feel a lot less guilty about my 'misdeed'.
