Windows Registry Problem!!

[Spielwurfel]

Everytime I initiates my Windows, a message appears on the screen telling that Windows recovered himself from a problem at the registry by using a backup copy... But it always appears!! Whta should I do to solve it??

You're Registry has been corrupted by something. It's time to start protecting it with Ad-Aware & Spybot (they're free); or Pest Patrol ($$) which is easily the best clean up product for spyware,adware, & malware.

In addition, get a Registry clean-up/compacting app like "Registry Fix" ($$); register the product first before doing the first scan. Otherwise it won't go after everything. You will be shocked at the amount of crap it finds. Get rid of it all!

I already cleaned all the spywares and fixed the registry! But it doesn't solved the problem...

I'm sorry that first post wasn't any help.

If you have PRO, you can try a "Registry Repair and Restore" using ASR.

Other than that, I yield.

Ok!! Thanks for the help!
If it doesn't solve the problem, I'll format my PC... I didn't wanted to do it...

Just a heads up.. ASR doesn't work.. it should never be used.

Oops... Ok...
I think the solution is to format the PC... But I won't do it... I got lots of Gb of important archives... 🙁

Boot your computer and go into Last Known Good Configuration.. what this does is it uses the stored backup copy of your Registry.. if the copy is working, then that's what it will use.. and it could fix your problem.

If not, you'll want to download something like RegistryMechanic or another registry fixing program.. that might take care of the problem.

Put in a "D" drive Slaved to your original. Put all your "stuff" (don't forget to transfer My Documents as well) on this drive. Transfer your email storefolder here too! Transfer your Downloads folder as well. I mean it; ALL of your dynamic, important stuff!

Only have XP and your apps on "C". This way, if anything happens to "C", you've lost none of your data, documents, archives, etc.

I know, but it's my father's PC, and he doesn't want to have all the work to re-install Windows and all the programs (there are lots of programs!!)

I hate Microsoft!! :x

I'm thinking you don't have SP2 installed do ya?

Here's something else you can try.. you read up, you figure out what switches you want to use.
