My repair job did not require me to remove and reload Windows. However, the traditional recovery process was not working, so I used my brother’s OS disc (same brand and model as my computer) to reinstall damaged or missing components. I did NOT have to reinstall Windows. Anyway, my Live One Care immediately failed validation, and the most recent Windows update has resulted in aggravating popups and sign-on delays saying I’m a victim of software piracy. Upon contacting Microsoft, they gave me a choice – complete a list of details and requirments to prove that my machine is the original that had its own Windows OS, or pay them 0 to validate the software. I feel like this is a kind of extortion. THEIR system failed, I fixed it using the resources at hand, and now they want me to pay them for the work I did. It’s insane. Has anyone else had this problem?
After a repair job on my Windows OS, MicroSoft says I no longer have valid Windows. Is this problem common?
windows vista registry?
what is a good registry for vista i have ccleaner it keep finding 4 things i cant remove and i have registry mechanic 6 full piad for it keeps finding 72 things but can detele them so whats a good registry cleaner that cleans ever thing
Do I need a registry cleaner for my PC?
I am using Registry Mechanic 6.0.Lately, it has not repaired all the errors. For example, I will scan. It finds 3 errors. I delete them and then run the scan again. It finds the exact 3 errors again. After running this 3 times, I am wondering if I need to change registry cleaners or just go without. Is it absolutely necessary to have a registry cleaner if I’m using Windows XP sp2 and do the maintenance on a routine basis?
I have a beautiful CD/DVD burning program, and it has been suggested to me that because I’m getting the message "Trial Period Is Expired", it’s very likely because an anti-virus program or Registry Cleaner is removing the program when it cleans. How do I list the exception in Norton’s Systemworks so it doesn’t clean the Registry thereby removing my program? I also have CC Cleaner, and can list the exception in there.
Must I ‘uncheck’ the windows registry scanner in the Systemworks?
When the Registry Cleaner is working, does it just clean, or does it correct errors?? I’m confused and would appreciate any help offered. Thanks in advance.
I downloaded an XP registry cleaner… in a series of tasks designed to improve my computers operation speed and power. But when I completed the registry cleaner program, my windows popup no longer functioned correctly. I included a link to a photobucket image of a screen shot… to show you what my computer is doing now.

It used to have a dark region on the top left-half of the menu, where other operations used to be. The bottom left-half was devoted to recently ran programs. But now the entire left half is recently ran programs.
deedles… system recovery isnt the solution to every problem. Id rather not have to restore years of work and software installations just to recover from a minor tweak. If it got this way simply, it can be fixed simply… and some geek has got to know how.
