Can I access the registry of a Windows installation on a disk that is not the main Windows disk?
The original installation was Windows 2000 Server. The old motherboard failed. The disc is fine.
There is information in the original register I want to import into the new registry of Server 2008.
Can I access this original registry if the drive on which he lives is seen as separated by another installation disc?
IE: I have the original disc of server installed on a PC bench. This PC bench sees the original server disk in drive E:
I am able to see the entire disk of the original server disk structure.
Can I access the registry Windows of this disc?
Can I export a few registry keys to import them into the new registry of the server?
Yes.
You can do this by using Regedit and editing of your disk E: registry as a "hive" in your registry active. To do this, follow the following procedure:
- First, back up your current registry in case things go wrong. Then
- Start Regedit (start-> Run-> 'regedit')
- Start Regedit, click once on 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' (or HKEY_USERS) to select
- Select the file-> load hive
- Navigate to the registry file you want to extract entries from and double-click it
(Probably E:\Windows\System32\Config\...) - A window will appear asking a key name. Enter something unique (I'll use "ABC" here)
- Now, look in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE". You will see an entry 'ABC '. Navigate in this article and you will find entries to the registry hive that you selected. You can now extract parts of it with the file-> export
- Take what you want then once finished, click once on the entry 'ABC' and make a file-> unload the hive.
- Exit Regedit
- After the export of the files, use a text editor to edit the path in the exported file to where you want to put in your registry and double-click it to merge in.
Hope that this gets you where you want to be,
JW

original title: missing file
Miss me the windows system32 rundll32.exe. I can't access the Add/Remove in the control panel.
I tried to start - run with my c/d operating system
I checked for viruses
I purchase software to remove etc and REG files.
Now that the devil do?
Thank you
If this
I tried to start - run with my c/d operating system
means that you have tried to use sfc/scannow from start > run, your experience is not surprising. This 'solution' is often suggested by people who don't really understand what this command does. It does not help to restore a missing rundll32.exe file.
For what is
I checked for viruses
What is the name and version of your anti-virus application? When (approximately) their subscription expires? What other antimalware applications installed? What other antimalware applications you used recently to scan your computer?
If you have not yet used the "software to remove the REG files and etc." return for refund or throw it out. "Registry cleaners", 'tuners', etc. are not useful. If you used to "clean" the registry, use its "undo" feature (if it has one) to restore the registry. Longtime MS MVP PA Bear:
TIP: If you still think again your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, amplified, to the point, healed, twisted, fixed, enlarged, "swept" or optimized (it isn't), read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions. See also http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-windows-fact-of-life.aspx
What probably happened is that your antivirus application deleted or quarantined in your file rundll32.exe thinking he was infected. He could have, but probably not. In any case, read the post that begins, "That 'solution' is not on my list." in the following thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-performance/systemrundllexe-not-found/6e30aff2-a88e-4d86-a654-753d54f632d1 you can also read the rest of the posts in this thread.
Note that c:\windows\system32\dllcache is a hidden folder, but you who type in the address bar of Windows Explorer (or copy and paste), the folder should open anyway.
Assuming you manage to restore rundll32.exe, download, install, update and run full scans (not at the same time) with each of the following free tools.

and search for the Windows XP drivers for your specific computer or motherboard model number.If there are Windows XP drivers, then download to a folder on your hard drive and burn it to a CD/DVD.
Then, after installing XP install all device drivers, starting with the card mother/chipset drivers.
LAN, Audio, USB, SATA, etc, and so on.Note: If there is no XP driver listed, then your computer is not compatible Windows XP.

My password has expired on Windows 7 and I can't access the machine
I have a Samsung Windows 7 Home Edition laptop. Last night, the password has expired (apparently without warning) and now I can't access the machine. I tried Safe Mode, but it returns the sign on screen. Tried to fix and had the same end result - a return to the login screen. There is only one account on the machine.
When your password has expired then, you will be immediately prompted to enter a new password. Unless you enter a new password, Windows won't let you continue.
No, I had not given the possibility to enter a new password. It's a stupid system to have passwords expire on home computers.
What you say does not correspond with my own observations.
Restart in Mode safe mode, and then log in as administrator. The password is usually empty. Now, you can reset the password for your existing account.
When you're done, plan in advance and create, test and document a second admin account.
To avoid that your passwords expiring, follow these steps:
1 log in under an administrator account.
2. click on start.
3. type the three letters cmd in the search box.
4. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
5. click on "run as Administrator".
6. type the following command and press ENTER:
