One of my important registry folders was deleted somehow,
HKEY_ROOT/CLSID or something like that. My comps been in
an uproar ever since. I tried to use sys restore, it pops
up but the window remains blank. It just sits there and
won't respond to anything. The window says "System
restore" but the background will remain "white" for
hours. The only thing I could think of doing was using
the comp im on now (my parents), going to their registry
and copying the entries for that folder, burning them on
CD and then adding them to mine. I tried that but the
problem just got worse. Trust me, I have no choice at
this point but to reformat.
