PC genius help needed!…The registry cannot load the hive(file)\SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE..plz help?

August 15, 2009

i kind of know what im doing, but what i did didnt work out, so i guess what im doing must be wrong, but I hope thats where you come in and help me out 🙂

Basically i switch on my PC it loads up then the blue screen of death as they cal it comes up and it displays that error.
So basically im screwed since i cant log onto the pc 🙂 (sarcasm face)
I can however log onto the pc in safe mode.

So what i have done so far is install the recovery console.
I ran the recovery console as the PC was booting up and i replaced the supposed corrupt software file in the C:\windows\system32\config\ folder with the one from C:\windows\repair\system. Once i did that i exited the recovery console and woooopdidooo to my amazement the pc logged on and no blue screen came up, at this point i was over the moon, mazed at my accomplishment and basking in my glory.
However i after i logged on, was done surfing the web. I shut down.
I then put the PC back on, and I was shattered…the blue screen, with the same error was back 🙁
sooo now im totally stumped as to what to do..
I seriously dont want to re install the OS since that is not really an option, i have really important programmes on the PC which are configured and it would be a huge headache re installing them.

So if you can help me, which i am praying u can, please please help..i’d be so grateful you have no idea.
THANK YOU
Thanks! Will try that soon, I did have Mcafee installed however and xoftspy…so i doubt its malware, but at the same time i hope it is..then at least i know what the problem is.

corrupt registry in windows xp?

June 16, 2009

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:

http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/886894.htm

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.
