Either for free, cheap or even an expensive one. There are many available; I need a recommendation. Thanks!

Hi everyone, i am new here. I have a problem with mi windows Xp with a message of some unable to find register in:

systemroot\system32\config\DEFAULT

I searched in google in another computer and i found this instructions from microsoft website.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q307545

I needed a windows xp cd (i got it from a friend) and with the Recovery Console i had to type:

md tmp
copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak

delete c:\windows\system32\config\system
delete c:\windows\system32\config\software
delete c:\windows\system32\config\sam
delete c:\windows\system32\config\security
delete c:\windows\system32\config\default

copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system
copy c:\windows\repair\software c:\windows\system32\config\software
copy c:\windows\repair\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam
copy c:\windows\repair\security c:\windows\system32\config\security
copy c:\windows\repair\default c:\windows\system32\config\default

and then some other instructions for the safe mode in windows.
However, when i type
copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak

the console respond with “cannot copy file”

Fine, i searched google again and found this page:

Someone wrote that in that case I should go direct to type

copy c:\windows\repair\default c:\windows\system32\config\default

cause there is no “default” file in the config directory. But when i do that, there is a message “Do you want to replace default file (Y/N)?”

I am confused, there is a default file, but i can not copy to a .bak file?
What do i do now? do replace the file? would there be a problem in the future for doing that?
I can not use windows Xp, not even with the safe mode.
Thanks for any help you can give me, and sorry for my bad english.

tell me about a good registry cleaner that won't mess up with the computers registry but to enhance the speed of the computer and delete invalid enteries.

the price of the registry cleaner program doesn't matter but if i can get it cheaper don't hesitate to type it down.okay.

for anyone that has good reasons to get the registry cleaner they tell me to get and have good info about the program and if it is a registry cleaner program that doesn't mess with my computer's registry but only cleans invalid registry entries.

everyone thanks a lot for your time on reading this and answering my concerns about registry cleaners.thanks and everyone have a great day.

my operating system ask of password .and idon,t know my pass word please how do i log in wthout know the pass word.

I keep getting popups saying that I need a registry cleaner or else my system may fail, its rather annoying. What do I do to get rid of this problem??
I just upgraded the computer, I am wondering if that has anything to do with it
