Solve : I believe I messed with the registry and now problems.? |

Answer» The AV went in right after SP2 installed. My immediate problem is that I cannot get the front 3.5 headphone jack working. The rear one works fine but not the front. This is kind of a big deal for me. In properties the driver is working and it's at location 2 but no sound. I read somewhere that when my HP computer was made that HP didn't send out disks but made a partion that the user could recover from. Could I have somehow used that instead of the disk I made to do a complete system restore? Well you just decided to go ahead and 'factory reset' it, so it WOULD have been nice if you had announced this to Superdave first, at which time he likely would have advised you of your options. One possibly being that there was no need. Quote from: Doug on November 28, 2011, 06:44:16 PM Well. I had to restore to original factory condition. Since you went ahead and did this without the support member's advice, then you can see how much was involved in re-setting it back up again. All Windows updates, Antivirus, Java, Printer and other hardware devices, Office?, many other Apps you want re-installed? Quote from: Doug on November 27, 2011, 12:34:36 PM What recovery tool should I use? Start Up repair? System restore? Windows complete PC restore? Windows memory diagnostic tool? Command prompt? Recovery Manager? This is where it went a little strange. Superdave was talking about downloading and running a Rescue CD You were talking about Windows complete PC restore, which is not part of the Rescue CD linked to. The options you were speaking of MUST have come from a HP Recovery CD, or a HP Recovery Image? How exactly did you re-install Windows? Quote from: Doug on November 26, 2011, 10:17:31 PM No OS CD! Edit: You may want to update your Chipset and raid controllers to latest version as well http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect I was just saying thank you. I try and do what I can on my own(as you can probably incline from how I got myself into this situation). You guys help with the INFO in the posts in reply to my questions and I search on my own to see what I can learn and do. I kind of look at replys as which PATHS to follow and get me headed in the right direction. He posted some info and I did what I could and when I could go no farther I have to ask more questions. I learn a heck of a lot. If I would post everytime I don't know how to do something this thread would be so long. And he did write use what method I wanted and to follow directions. Specifically, the other options on the CD didn't do anything. I'll upload the CD I burned somewhere. There's a line under properties that reads "drweb-livecd-600." After this maybe the partion did work? And with the CD I used there was a line, as I posted, -Windows complete PC restore. I should go back and change the I had to part to I choose to. Doug that's all fine. Anyway you also said its working better than before now You don't need to upload the CD, we believe you. Ultimately, the forum is there to freely help solve members computer issues. However way that happens is all good. "I believe I messed with the registry and now problems." Obviously the registry is a critical area and although you used "registry programs from MajorGeeks" (a trusted source) its not something that should be played with. I will SAY that I have used CCleaner http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner And also the Registry Cleaner, part of free CCleaner, on thousands of computers and never had an issue not once. So this may be the best 'user friendly' registry cleaner of them all. |
