Am I correct, if I have a corrupted registry (can't even
open it and lots of errors regarding it in the logs),
it is a full reinstall, not an in place reinstall?




No you are not correct. If you have a corrupted registry then
the only application affected is the one that relies on that
registry key. To resolve it, just re-install that particular
application (or repair install) and everything should be back to
normal.

Some registry cleaners might aid you to delete that corrupted
registry key and I suggest try using CCleaner to see if it fixes
it.

Now this is all in generality so if you tell us what made you
think that registry is corrupted? there is a misconception here
on these newsgroups that when there is a problem with a
"registry" you won't be able to boot the machine and all that non
sense. This is not true because "Registry" is not just one file.
There are 1000s of registry keys/files and one or two might be
corrupted but it is not the end of the world.

Hi Guy,

It is not just one program having issues and the issue
is growing. The motherboard the customer is using is
over 15 years old. I condemned it for that and other
reasons

His hard drive and DVD drive a less than 6 months old,
so I will reuse that and his w7 key to rebuild him.

So basically, since Windows itself is having issues with
the registry, I was thinking that I was looking at a full
reinstall after upgrading the hardware. Your thoughts?

Damn. Dude, seriously, stop playing tech when you aren't actually
one. You really do give actual technicians a bad name. You're like
the shady tree mechanic.



What an ass hole!

Oh ya I forgot to add. I no longer wish any contact with your
either now or in the future. Reason: you are an ass hole.

And, you are kill filed.

There's no easy way to tell a person they aren't qualified.

I'm *not* trying to be an asshole towards you or anyone else, but,
you're asking essentially, basic questions while you pass yourself
off as a computer technician. I'm a certified computer technician
myself, so, it does tend to annoy me when people like you pass
yourselves off as something you aren't. Sorry, but, it does.

You can get a lot of STDs from loo seats,
but only if you sit down before the last guy's got up.

That's a very Christian attitude to have towards me. I suspect, at
this point, you're a 'Christian' when it suits you to be and a normal
joe when it doesn't?

And, you are kill filed.

Again, a very Christian attitude to have when someone points out the
obvious and means no harm as they do so.

No, there isn't. He's charging people for his services, but, he's not a
qualified (as in certified) computer technician. He has to ask for help
with what should be basic stuff to an actual technician. That has shady
tree mechanic written all over him. Sorry, but, as a certified computer
technician for over 20 years myself, it does. I realize people think
someone is a '****in genius' these days if they can load windows and
hose all of your stuff as they do so, but, that doesn't make them a
technician, it makes them a con artist.
