Re: I'm an idiot with a recovery console

There is no Registry modification thing in Recovery console but if you
have a backup (made by System Restore or manually), you can recover
from the situation (If the problem is in registry) :

I don't know how to use the recovery portion of the Windows XP CD, I
did type "help" like thats gonna help, and didn't see any thing like
regrestorefrombakup so i'm pretty lost. I can get into the injured
Windows XP but no Microsoft programs are working with the afore
mentioned error. If I could just get my backup to restore...I don't
use the generic restore system in XP thats all turned off but I know
the Volume Shadow Copy service is on. Well, I'm logging off this
installation and going back in there to see if i can kill it
completely.

Hello,
Trying to save a dying operating system Windows XP SP2 with all but
one of the very latest updates. Scanned for viruses with two
different AVS's scanners and am totally free of malware or viruses.

History abriviated:

Hopefully this is in order of occurance:

First I went to safe mode just to look at my account and the
administrator account and when I rebooted, starting normally this
message appeared that I have never seen before: "Windows is
replacing a file that is part of the registry the registry has been
repaired successfully" (The message was similiar to that but I
can't
access the original message at this moment.) I had not made any
manual changes to the registry but had recently installed IE7 from
a
MS download. Everything was working fine except Windows Updates
that
downloaded but won't install, 6 of them, KB923980, KB92470,
KB890830, KB927978, KB905474, KB920213. Using IE 7, and from the
windows update log the initial windows
update errors were, 0x800704dd and 0x80240020. I googled the error
numbers and came up with a mass of information Including a MS
website that exactly fit my problem and I followed the directions
exactly with no resolution. I tried everything to get the critical
updates and did get four out of six, eventually, by manually
downloading and installing them. In an effort to get the last
updates from windows update I
uninstalled IE 7 since it seemed it did not operate under the
proper
permissions. Opps.

I rebooted after the uninstall and got this: explorer.exe cannot
start "iertutil.dll not found". No desktop of course just task
manager that was limited because of the error: "Ordinal 56 could
not
be located in the dll iertutil.dll". Checked IE and is still
reporting version 7. Can't use MMC, Cant use use backup to restore,
same error all over "ordinal 56 could not be located.."
Not knowing what to do from here I tried safe mode and could not
access my or admins account due to same error. Could not restore to
last know good. I started an XP installation i have on a seperate
drive and copied theiertutil.dll to %systemroot% and dll cache on
the XP installation that is failing. Rebooted into the installation
and explorer.exe did start but still cannot run many windows
applications, including backup restore, with the error: "The
ordianal 56 could not be located in the dynamic link library
iertutil.dll". So now I put the Windows XP SP2 slipstream CD in
and
booted from it. I can get to the repair console but what do I do
from here? I want to repair the registry from a backup I have on
another drive. I'm talking to you now through a styrofoam cup with
a
string attached to it... I went to another installation of XP on
the same computer which also
has IE 7 installed and copied iertutil.dll to


.
