Multiple program, registry, and settings issues.
I'm attempting to fix this Windows 8.1 system with the following complaint:
"On the start menu page that lists all of the programs. The applications that aren't working & are showing an error message are the following (all came with the computer): Alarms, Calculator, Calendar, Finance, Food & Drink, Games, Health and Fitness, Help & Tips, Mail (can access our email thru the desktop...this has never worked right since we have 2 emails), Maps, Music, News, People, Reader, Reading List, Scan, Skype, Sound Recorder, Sports, Travel, Video, Weather. Can't access PC settings....it comes up a blank screen. Can get into settings if I use the search function from the left side menu that pulls out and search for what I need. Also, as I told you, can't access my SkyDrive (cloud). Any program that I have added or downloaded seems to be working ok. Word is working fine." Here are some entries from the event log: Error: (05/30/2014 08:21:29 PM) (Source: Microsoft-Windows-User Profiles Service) (EventID: 1542) (User: NT AUTHORITY) Description: Windows cannot load classes registry file.
