Solve : Vista Registry Repair Software? |
|
Answer» That looks fine. What to do: Wipe your drive clean. Use a Norton utility or some other. Or better yet buy another hard drive and get yourself a good copy of Unix. Unless you wish to reward the kids at Redmond for having shot you in the foot, Abbeted incidentally by Dell. Say what? Quote Here are my thoughts: Vista is an improvement on Win 95 and Win 98 and XP in a sense that it is has the ability to perpetuate registry errors not serious enough to prevent a successful boot. So if your program develops a fault but succeeds in booting, the fault will be recopied in the registry with the first boot of the day. Every day. Getting different with each copy. This was a clever design strategy and allows the program to heal it'self so to speak. Source ? ? To my knowledge this is not how Vista works at all...Ok Havent a clue what all that meant but here is a new development. In order for me to upload a movie to YouTube with dial up it takes all nite so that last 2 nites I have left my computer run all nite When I woke up in the morning, I had a report that said Unexpected Shutdown Here is the report on that Problem signature: Problem Event Name: BlueScreen OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.3 Locale ID: 4105 Additional information about the problem: BCCode: 1000007e BCP1: C0000005 BCP2: 8A976749 BCP3: 82AB7AAC BCP4: 82AB77A8 OS Version: 6_0_6000 Service Pack: 0_0 Product: 768_1 Files that help describe the problem: C:\Windows\Minidump\Mini090808-01.dmp C:\Users\HOME\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-29221108-0.sysdata.xml C:\Users\HOME\AppData\Local\Temp\WER37DA.tmp.version.txt I should also point out that for some reason, not sure if its the slow dial up or my firewall that is blocking me from getting the Office XP Service pak 3 installed. But it wont take. Quote C:\Windows\Minidump\Mini090808-01.dmpThese two particular lines definitely indicate system files being messed up. Either Windows itself, or again, bad hard drive.

Quote OPERATING System Microsoft Windows Vista Home Edition 6.0.6000 (WinVista Beta) Kinda sucks that Everest doesn't distinguish Home Basic from Home Premium. Easily solved by Start -> CONTROL Panel -> System. That'll tell you.

If you have dial-up, you're probably better off using a friend's high-speed connection and a 1 GB or better flash drive to copy it to your computer. Quote DirectX 4.09.00.0904 (DirectX 9.0c) Vista has DirectX 10. I wonder why Everest is reporting 9.0c? Quote
Suggested improvement #2: Get moar RAMz!!!! Seriously. Running Vista with less than 2 GB of RAM is the number 1 cause of computer cancer. My cousin and her husband decided to buy a cheapo e-Machine with Vista Home Basic and 512 MB of RAM. Sure, it was probably only $400, but it ran like elephant you-know-what. Put 2 GB of RAM in it = wow... Quote from: Twylla on September 09, 2008, 09:24:27 AM Ok Havent a clue what all that meant but here is a new development. Like I said, borrow a friend's computer and a 1 GB flash drive to do all your downloading/uploading. Other than that, given the list of problems: 1) Running Vista without a Service Pack 2) Running Vista with 1 GB of RAM. 3) Blue Screen of Death above--which could be anything from a bad stick of RAM to a bad hard drive to just something messed up in your operating system. My suggestion would be to take your computer to a computer shop (or to the place you bought it, especially if it's still under warranty and if it has a hardware problem). Have them back up all your data, reinstall Vista, get your Vista and Office up to date (Vista to SP1 and Office XP to SP3), and see if it still Blue Screens. If it does, then there's a hardware problem (like a bad stick of RAM). Once your computer is satisfactorily working, you might want to work on getting some high-speed Internet if you can. Vista updates are ****ing huge, and your dial-up just won't keep up with them. If you're in a rural area where cable and DSL aren't available (I know how you feel--I used to be in the same boat), then get a cellular broadband card from Sprint, Verizon, or Cricket. It may be more expensive than dial-up, but there's a lot less frustration in using the Internet AND in being so far behind with updates... Quote Suggested improvement #2: Get moar RAMThis was suggested before, but apparently money is tight.Ok thanks guys. Like always you provide a direction to go. Makes sense to me. |
