Re: Registry problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Didn't finish reading message - sorry
Error message is the same one as this thread "file restored from another log
file" or something like that. Also there is a another error message with the
qui interface but I haven't written down the message and will have to log off
and restart to record message. Perhaps it is this gui error that is causing
the registry to restore a file from another location.

What is your Windows XP CD as it is described on the face of the CD? Is
it a Retail or OEM copy? What is your computer make and model?

What is the error message you are getting?

Hi Gerry,
After reading numerous tech notes etc I've decided the best way to
remove the registry error is to load Winxp on to a spare HDD I have,
then copy all my files over.
I am happy to do this with all my personal files, but how do I do
this with SP2 or updates, and if using the file transfer wizard, will
the registry be altered as well - thereby, perhaps unknowingly,
transfering the registry item that is currently causing the problem.
Or is there a way to trace the registry error. I have run a number of
registry fix programs but none so far have worked.

We're here to help as well as as have a little smile when we can <G>.

Very funny Gerry. And I do mean funny ha ha. Actually you may be
waiting a while. After reading all the microsoft info I figured
there must be an easier way to solve this issue. So for now I'm not
reinstalling - With all the issues with reinstall I might as well
just reformat and start again.

We're waiting on the edge of seats in anticipation.

Anyone has any suggestions of what needs to be done to eliminate
this annoying error?

Thanks in advance for any help.

First - it helps if you give the exact message. =)

'One of the files containing the system's Registry data had to be
recovered by use of a log or alternate copy. The recovery was
successful.'

Couple of suggestions out there include...

- System Restore to before the problem started...

- Disable the Network DDE service
- Right click My Computer, select Manage -> Services and
Applications -> Services, then select Network DDE and in the
'Sartup type' select 'Disable' in the dropdown box. Reboot.

- Repair install
