good luck.

here is another issue
you might expect resulting
from the bad advice/idea
you ascertained:

Power Failure
A power failure or some other unexpected shutdown event may cause a corrupted registry hive. To determine whether this is the
cause
of the issue, look for event ID 6008 entries. Event ID 6008 entries indicate that there was an unexpected shutdown. In this case,
some process may have been modifying part of the registry hive, and the computer lost power before that change could be completed.
This leaves the registry hive in an inconsistent state. On restart, when the operating system tries to load the registry hive, it
may find data in that registry hive that it cannot interpret, and you may receive one of the error messages that is included in
the
"Summary" section.

good luck then.

however here is another issue
you might expect resulting
if you choose to leave
your computer on 24/7:


Power Failure
A power failure or some other unexpected shutdown event may cause a corrupted registry hive. To determine whether this is the cause
of the issue, look for event ID 6008 entries. Event ID 6008 entries indicate that there was an unexpected shutdown. In this case,

so the question you
should pose to rr, is
that will they repair
your system, should
you loose power during
24/365.

What does that have to do with having the computer on 24/7? I guess
that you don't think that power failures can happen at anytime or maybe
you call the power company and have them schedule power interruptions so
that they don't happen during your computing time. None of what you
have just said supports your idea that having the computer on 24/7
corrupts the registry. As for power failures that what UPS and shutdown
software are sold for.

"is not" a good idea.

one is the registry
collects data and

will be a very bad
headache for you.


Complete and utter crap - that is 100% false.

I have many computers that run 24/7 and are not even rebooted during a
month, always online, always ready, in fact, the only time they get
turned off is during a massive power outage. Never had a problem with
the registry in a decade.

You need to fix your posting client, your lines should break at 72/76

don't compare your
system of 8 computers
with those who can't
configure or figure out
an isp connection on
1 computer.

further, unless you
have battery backup
power, you will loose
power and one of the
registries will go to
crap. that is if you are
telling us the truth and
not making up a fantasy.

8 computers on a

well if you turn them
off and allow the system
to complete the shut down
and reboot process, then
they can't be running
24/7/365 then.

you should ask the
question to the o.p.
then you might do a
followup question if
there is one, is it
cofigured.

an improperly connected

It doesn't matter if the person has 1 or 200 computer on their home
network, the registry is not impacted by the computer being on 24/7,
period.

further, unless you
have battery backup
power, you will loose
power and one of the
registries will go to
crap. that is if you are
telling us the truth and
not making up a fantasy.


I've had many computers without a UPS in my days, and certainly not all
customers have UPS's on their systems that they leave running. While it
IS a risk that can leave a file currupted, the registry is almost never
impacted by a computer doing nothing when the power is lost. So little
is the chance of a "Registry" problem during a power outage, that you
just almost never hear of that as an issue.

8 computers on a
network at home,
huh?


Use to have more than that, and that's not including the servers that
run 24/7 in my home.

never had a problem,
huh?


Never had any Registry problem from leaving a computer running all the
time, never, not in all my years since MS invented the registry.

seems your full of it.


Seems you just lack experience and believe everything must be as your
limited amount of experience has shown to you.
