How do I reinstall or repair registry?
Hi -
I'm helping someone with their system and it seems like a couple of here programs are not working. She has XP Pro. When she try to launch the programs from either the desktop icon or start menu, they are not launching. We've tried system restore, uninstalling and reinstalling the programs to no avail. No info was on the manufacturer either to correct the problem . The programs in question are CloneCD and a labeling program (to create mailing labels, etc.) We ran the ad-aware programs for spyware and the antivirus (nothing comes up). Is there a way to install a fresh registry without doing a repair install? If we reinstall some of the programs, that's fine but we don't want to reinstall in the O/S. Any info will greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Newtechie |

Uninstall the programs that will not open, then reinstall
them using their original installation media. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User Microsoft Newsgroups Be Smart!

Manually remove the offending registry entries. Computer problems can
sometimes be a pain but all you can do is think your way around the problem using every method you know. -- Jonah "Newtechie" wrote in message ... Hi Carey, That didn't work either.

I'd prefer to install or create a new registry as this is not my computer and I don't wanna screw up anything else. Thanks though. Newtechie "Sleepless in Seattle" wrote in message ...

How do I reinstall or repair registry?
I don't know how you install a registry except by restoring from a backup of
the system's own registry. As for creating a new registry, that IS a reinstall or repair install of the OS. The registry is not an application. It is a database of all the operating system's attributes. -- Colin Barnhorst [MVP Windows - Virtual Machine] (Reply to the group only unless otherwise requested) "Newtechie" wrote in message ...

IOW, use system Restore (if it goes back far enough prior to the two
installations). -- johnf I don't know how you install a registry except by restoring from a backup of the system's own registry.
