Corrupted registry problem Vista - Possible

Hi all

I'm trying to fix an old laptop (Inspiron 1525 Vista SP1) - stopped working a few weeks ago from friends. Out of the blue Vista wouldn't boot at all for her. The green status bar appears at the bottom of the screen but nothing else. Then, he tries to do the startup repair that does not work, which gives following information:

Problem event name: StartupRepairV2

Problem event Signature 01: AutoFailover

Event problem signature 02: 6.0.6001.18000.6.0.6001.18000

Problem Signature 03:6 event

Problem Signature event 04:1441814

Problem event Signature 05: CorruptRegistry

Problem Signature 06 of the event: CorruptRegistry

Problem Signature event 07:999

Problem Signature 08:3 event

Problem event Signature 09: RollbackRegistry

Problem Signature 09:0 event

OS version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.256.1

Locale ID: 1033

I wouldn't mind the whole formatting thing, but there are important files on what she needs. She doesn't remember all new updates/devices/software before the problem started.

It will not in any form of Mode without failure, instead enter the Startup Repair every time, even with the last known good Config.

She had no system restore point and there is no backup image!

I have Vista, the installation CD and entered the BACK: 'chkdsk /f' makes no difference either.

Last line in 'ntnblog.txt' shows that this loading srtsp.sys (folder related symantec?) if it help?

Tried diagnostic and it doesn't seem to be a problem.

Which can be please? I am a novice, you will need to keep the really simple answers. All that I need on this subject are his files.

Thank you

Hi VinnyO'Boyle,.

I suggest you to take the backup of data from windows recovery (winre) mode mode.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-Vista

Follow these steps:

1. open the windows recovery mode command prompt.

2 type notepad in the command prompt and press to enter.

3. in Notepad go to file, open and select the location of the backup data.

Once the stored data, are up to do you a clean install on the computer.

Vista startup problems - corrupt registry?

Hoping someone can help here. My wife has a laptop Toshiba Satellite with Vista Home Premium installed. The other day, the laptop has a beep and shut down. Now it won't start - it gets the Toshiba screen then goes to a white cursor blinking at the top left. Pressing F8 does not open to the top of the Recovery Console, I downloaded a program of Recovery Console and burned on a disc. I can choose to boot from the DVD drive and the recovery console opens upward.
I tried the Start Up repair, but still encounter an error that reads "the breakpoint of the exception: a breakpoint has been reached (0 x 80000003)" occurred in the application at location 0x739c746a: click ok to finish. ""
It will then open a box indicating that Windows cannot fix the problem. In detail, he lists the following:

Problem Signature 01 external media
Signature of the problem 02 6.0.6000.16386.6.0.6001.18000
Signature 03 6 problem
Signature of the 04 262148 problem
Problem Signature 05 corrupt registry
Problem Signature 06 corrupt registry
Signature of the 07 32 problem
Signature 08 3 problem
Problem Signature 09 registry Rollback
Signature of the 10 32 problem

I also ran chkdsk from the command prompt, but which found no errors.
There is no other backup disk and I don't have a copy of Vista with the laptop.

Any advice will be welcome. Thanks in advance.

Hello StuartBrodie,

If we receive beep codes on commissioning and startup repair is to reach breakpoints, then we would like to hire Toshiba on this issue to run their hardware diagnostics.

Let us know.

VISTA HOME PREMIUM KEEPS RESTARTING. NOW DOWNLOAD CORRUPT REGISTRY.

Hello
Originally Vista kept rebooting without the ability to go to the HD.
Now we get a corrupt registry error.
What is the name of the registry file.
I have 2 HD register could be written to the 2nd HD?
No hot spare of Vista SP2.
How should I proceed?

TNX,

Try this:

Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

There is no Vista free download legal available.

Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

They will tell you how to do this.

Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

Vista has a corrupted registry and I can't start

My dilemma is that after having replaced just the motherboard, installing Vista on a RAID 1 array will not start. I tried the Vista DVD recovery with repair system nothing helps. I get just the message, file: \Windows\system32\config\system status: 0 x 0000225 Info: Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing or corrupted.

I also tried to restart via simple hard drives in the config of the IDE, but each of them also reported the same message. What I have to reinstall Vista or can I try to retrieve the system registry file using the method described in the Article ID: 307545, "How to recover from a corrupted registry that prevents the start of Windows XP."

I think I'll have to reinstall Vista on a new RAID array (two new hard drives are pending) and if I do, the files and Settings Transfer Wizard work from all my work one of the hard drives mirrored existing? I plan to insert one in a box outside and finished the clean installation of Vista, transfer the content. I've never done it, that's why I ask questions. To be sure, it's the right thing to do. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

AK handyman,
Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

You need to reinstall to a new RAID array, there is no way to repair the existing installation once the motherboard has been changed. The RAID has been broken. Once you reinstall Vista on a new table, you should be able to transfer your old files if you put one of the drives in an external case.

Let us know if we can help you.
Thank you

Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.

Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.

Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

Manual steps to recover a corrupted registry that prevents the start of the procedure that this article describes to Windows XP using System Restore and Recovery Console. This article lists also all required specific steps to ensure that the process is fully completed. When you have completed this procedure, the system returns to a state very close to the State until the problem occurred. If you have ever run NTBackup and completed a system state backup, you don't have to follow the procedures in parts two and three. You can go to part IV. First part in the first part, you start the Recovery Console, create a temporary folder, back up the existing registry files to a new location, delete the registry from their existing location files and then copy the registry files in the repair folder to the System32\Config folder. When you have completed this procedure, a registry is created that you can use to start Windows XP. This registry was created and saved during the initial setup of Windows XP. Therefore, any changes and settings that took place after Setup has finished are lost.

The full, first part, follow these steps:

Insert the diskette of starting Windows XP in the floppy drive, or insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart the computer.

Click to select all of the options required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.

When the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
If you have a dual-boot or multiboot, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
At the Recovery Console prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
MD tmp
copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak
Copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak

delete c:\windows\system32\config\system
delete c:\windows\system32\config\software
Delete c:\windows\system32\config\sam
delete c:\windows\system32\config\security
Delete c:\windows\system32\config\default

Copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system
copy c:\windows\repair\software c:\windows\system32\config\software
copy c:\windows\repair\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam
Copy c:\windows\repair\security c:\windows\system32\config\security
Copy c:\windows\repair\default c:\windows\system32\config\default
Type exit to quit the Recovery Console. Your computer will restart.

Note This procedure assumes that Windows XP is installed in the C:\Windows folder. Make sure that replace C:\Windows with case windows_folder If it is a different place.

If you have access to another computer, to save time, you can copy the text in step 5, and then create a text file called "Regcopy1.txt" (for example). To use this file, run the following command when you start in Recovery Console:

batch regcopy1.txt

With the command batch to the Recovery Console, you can process all the commands in a text file in the order. When you use the batch command, you do not have to manually type as many commands. Second part to perform the procedure described in this section, you must be logged on as an administrator or an administrative user (a user who has an account in the Administrators group). If you use Windows XP Home Edition, you can connect as an administrative user. If you sign in as an administrator, you must first start Windows XP Home Edition in safe mode. To start the computer in Windows XP Home Edition in safe mode, follow these steps.

Note Print these instructions before continuing. You cannot view these instructions after you restart the computer in Mode safe. If you use the NTFS file system, also print the instructions from article KB309531 of the Knowledge Base. Step 7 contains a reference to the article.

Click Start, click shut down (or click turn off computer), click restart, and then click OK (or click restart).
Press the F8 key.
On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press F8 when you see the boot menu.
Use the arrow keys to select the appropriate safe mode option and press ENTER.
If you have a dual-boot or multiboot system, use the arrow keys to select the installation that you want to access, and then press ENTER.

In part two, you copy the registry of their location saved files by using the system restore. This folder is not available in the Recovery Console, and is usually not visible on the typical use. Before you begin this procedure, you must change several settings to make the folder visible:

Start Windows Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click folder options.
Click the view tab.
Under hidden files and folders, select Show hidden folders and files, and then click to clear the Hide protected (recommended) operating system files check box.
When appears in the dialog box confirming that you want to display these files, click Yes .
Double-click the drive where you installed Windows XP to display the list of folders. If it is important to click on the correct drive.
Open the System Volume Information folder. This folder is not available and is dimmed because it is defined as a file hidden doubling.
Note This folder contains one or more _restore {GUID} folders such as "_restore {87BD3667-3246-476B-923F-F86E30B3E7F8}.

Note You may receive the following error message:

C:\System Volume Information is not accessible. Access is denied.

If you receive this message, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base for access to this folder and continue with the procedure:

309531 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309531/) how to access the System Volume Information folder
Open a folder that was created not at the present time. You may need to click Details on the view menu to see when these folders were created. There may be one or more folders starting with "RP x under this folder." Here are the restore points.
Open one of these folders to find a subfolder of the snapshot. The following path is an example of a folder path to the snapshot folder:
C:\System Volume \RP1\Snapshot Information\_restore {D86480E3-73EF-47BC-A0EB-A81BE6EE3ED8}
Starting from the Snapshot folder, copy the following files to the C:\Windows\Tmp folder:
- _REGISTRY_USER_. DEFAULT
- _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY
- _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE
- _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM
- _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM
Rename the files in the C:\Windows\Tmp folder as follows:
- Rename _REGISTRY_USER_. DEFAULT DEFAULT
- Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY to SECURITY
- Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE to SOFTWARE
- Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM to SYSTEM
- Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM to SAM

These files are the system restore registry files. Because you used the registry file that the Setup program created, this registry does not know that these restore points exist and are available. A new folder is created with a new GUID under System Volume Information and a restore point is created that includes a copy of the registry files that were copied during the first part. Therefore, it is important not to use the most recent folder, especially if the time stamp on the folder is the same at the moment.

The current configuration of the system is not aware of the previous restore points. You must have a previous copy of the registry to a previous restore point to make previous restore available again points.

The registry files that were copied to the Tmp folder in the C:\Windows folder are moved to ensure the files are available in the Recovery Console. You use these files to replace the registry files currently in the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder. By default, the Recovery Console has limited access to records and cannot copy the files in the File System Volume.

Note The procedure described in this section assume you are using your computer with the FAT32 file system. For more information on how to access the folder of information system with the NTFS file system Volume, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

309531 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309531/) how to access the System Volume Information folder

Part three in the third part, you delete the existing registry files, and then copy the system restore registry files to the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder:

Start the Recovery Console.
At the command prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
del c:\windows\system32\config\sam

del c:\windows\system32\config\security

del c:\windows\system32\config\software

del c:\windows\system32\config\default

del c:\windows\system32\config\system

copy c:\windows\tmp\software c:\windows\system32\config\software

copy c:\windows\tmp\system c:\windows\system32\config\system

copy c:\windows\tmp\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam

Copy c:\windows\tmp\security c:\windows\system32\config\security

Copy c:\windows\tmp\default c:\windows\system32\config\default

Note Some of these command lines may be wrapped for readability.

a corrupt registry will completely bring a (very slow) to its knees XP OS and the gives and error

My XP OS has become if slow is not convenient to use (it's completely unusable). In my view, that he was trying to install windows updates when this happened, but in fact, I'm not sure. I left him the other night and the next morning I went to him and it was like that. I ran a few top virus detections but does not show anything. I'm thinking then maybe it could be a corrupt registry?

Hi JerryB9,

As far as I know that a corrupt registry would cripple the system at a dead stop; It would not just start. Try to restore system using System Restore (preferably an hour before when you had an update). You can also run an application called Malwarebytes (www.malwarebytes.org) to see if you have malicious software that could be the cause of the problem.

This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

Registry problems cause hard disk by clicking on, then blue screen

Dell support said the clicking hard drive and next blue screen is caused by a registry error. In order to solve a problem of major virus and start over, I have completely reformatted the hard drive and installed the operating system and other programs, so I can't understand why I always have a registry problem. Although I can not specify the exact moment, it seems to happen after an update of Windows, but also occurs at random. It would also be the installation of MS Office 2010, because I do not remember what happens before the 2010 Windows Installer. I read that registry cleaners do not work, so I am at a loss for what to do. What I don't understand is how the registry is damaged when all that I've done is install everything from scratch. I have a Dell Dimension 5100 running Windows XP Home Edition w/SP3.

Hi LiveToFish,

1. What is the problem on the computer after reinstalling Windows?

2. don't you still get the errors blue screen on the computer? If so, then what is the message on the blue screen?

It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

Reset the computer to start as usual

When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

If the previous step fails, then check the event viewer to determine the cause of the blue screen on the computer and post back with the details.

Corrupt registry, need help please

Hello I have a Dell Optiplex GX 270 that I bought used from a store of Liquidation of the Office, the vehicle currently has Windows XP Professional installed SP3. When I have this home computer I noticed he had all kinds of problems, so I started to try to solve the problems. Some of the problems he was and still is, computer is slow, it has a Pentium 4 chip. Programs keep freezing, sometimes processor overclocks his car and works 100% for minutes at a time, as soon as I turn on the computer all of a sudden.

Don't know I tried several things, I tried to format and reinstall the operating system, it does not work, I ran badly ware, sdfix and other related programs. I entered in the registry it is auto and remove all keys possible, when I found under hkey_local_machine, under control sets, all sorts of _, as all services installed and running of has keys z. special, secret keys that have been installed by a hacker, I even found that the hard drive had been located and was fixed everytime I log on windows the computer of the intruder connects automatically.

Now, as I said I've removed all the keys in the registry and then reinstalled the operating system on a disk I got from Dell, I thought that I had the problem supported until I went into the registry and looked, when I looked I found everything that I had deleted was back.

Know that it happens every time, I can format, I can destroy the score, I can destroy the registry, but every time I do reinstall an operating system, every thing comes back as ever, I remove anything. I searched the hidden Partitions, I ran spy bot and related programs, what they find is much win socks, services, plug-ins and anything else you can think of, the registry is damaged, I even ran a program called XL delete 2 it is a file, the file shredder and what he finds is and epic on the files program files at the following address windows, documents, and settings is files that are not common to windows at all, it's like they are piggy backing on the back side of the folders.

Don't know that I do not know where this info could be hiding, but there must be somewhere and help to fix this would be greatly appreciated, and I do mean any help, just know that I am pulling my hair out trying to find where it is hidden. I thank you for your time and have a nice day

Valérie

I just try the following other assistance to people on the registry problems, and here's what I typed and the result.

I typed the following at the command prompt

CD /D C:\windows\system32\config

Xcopy *. * C:\Regback\ when I hit the button ENTER here is what I got

C:AppEvent.evt

C:default

Sharing violation

Also I can't use system restore, there is no restore point, also I can type SC QUERY from the command prompt and then it shows 30 services installed and running and are all default actions, I also used the service SC Delete to end this, but again once I have do a reinstall or even shut down my computer and restart all return

You really need to end your attachment to the registry; It is a herring! Not only that, you will be more probably damage your system if you have the wrong with it. So it is now OFF LIMITS! :-)

Also, don't you worry on the hard drive. Chances are you have just done the Clean install incorrectly.

You must follow ALL of the instructions for a clean install. This means that you must:

1. start from the hard disk (hit F12 immediately after the turning on a Dell computer should allow you to do)

2 delete all partitions

3. create a new partition

4. format the newly created partition

(in the case otherwise, you wind up having a bunch of parallel installations in disorder, you want a CLEAN installation!)

Maybe this guide will be better for you:

http://www.windowsxpprofessional.WindowsReinstall.com/sp2sp3installxpcdoldhdd/indexfullpage.htm

(Ignore the ads!)

And once you're done, you will need to install all the correct drivers for your hardware (for example, the motherboard, network adapter, chipset card graphic and sound card). You'll find them all on the Dell Web site (select support).

Dell Dock exe "application not found" error after cleaning malware virus and fix registry problems

Hey guys!, I had a problem with malware. (In particular this Vista Internet Security * who seems to knock everyone). I fixed this problem as well as the issue with the thing of my Microsoft Security (which sets the windows Defender) and then I went through and fixed my registry problems who came later as some aftereffect of the virus. (Phew!) Now that it is finally all done I click on my dock dell to go to internet explore and BAM! "Application not found" in an area which the header indicates dell dock.exe. Now I just got through my fixing registry problems so that I have all my .exe programs can open without a problem. All other issues are resolved except this! What's wrong?! Please, someone help. (I can get Internet explore any other way, but it's not my PC and I don't want the owner to think I broke it) PS Can't do system restore I would lose my updates which are very necessary can't do a registry fix because I already did and I don't want to mess with it again is not sure if reinstall dell dock should solve the problem I just install IE9 and all my other icons in dell dock work very well

Windows cannot repair this computer automatically (corrupt registry)

Signature of the problem:

Problem event name: StartupRepairOffline

Signature of the problem 01: 6.1.7600.16385

Signature of the problem 02: 6.1.7600.16385

Signature of the problem 03: unknown

Signature of the 04:21199812 problem

Signature of the problem 05: AutoFailover

Signature of problem 06:2

Signature of the problem 07: CorruptRegistry

The system version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1

Local ID: 1033

I already tried as follows:

1. in a DVD of OEM Windows 7, I entered in install.

2. Select repair when prompted to advanced options.
3. Select the command line.
4. identify the correct drive letter for your Windows installation. It could be the drive E: or F:. You do this by typing commands
DIR C:\Win*
Dir D:\Win*
dir E:\Win*
until you find the Windows folder.
I'll call this "Q:" drive
5 type these commands:
CD /d Q:\windows\System32\config
xcopy *. * Q:\RegBack\
CD RegBack
dir
6. check the dates of the software, system, and SAM files. The files created before or after that is your problem?
7. If they were made before the problem appeared, you can then type these commands:
copy software / y...
/y copy system...
/y copy Sam...
(the two points are part of each order)
8 restart normally. If things don't work then you can go back by copying files from the original register of Q:\Regback to Q:\Windows\System32\config.

This did not fix my problem:

Then I loaded the drive and copied the windows\system32\config\*.* of the shadow volume and moved to the location of \\windows\system32\config\ to try to take the snapshot of the registry and load as the current registry

Finally the Startup Repair is represented and will continue to receive the response from corrupted registry

Yes well enough why fix the images of the system and its commissioning should be used today.

Selection of 64-bit Windows 7 text-to-speech: problems & Solutions possible

There are several problems with the default value of the TTS voice implementation in
Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 64-bit edition.

Control Panel TTS voice option lists only properly registered
Voice of 64-bit. Microsoft Anna is the only 64-bit voice which is
provided with operating systems. Kate of Loquendo, which is
probably the best voice quality TTS that is currently available,
a versions 32 and 64 bit. Kate is difficult to obtain in small
quantities and very expensive. The best alternative is
considered Heath voice Acapela Group. It is only
currently available as a 32-bit version for Windows operation
systems. (64-bit Heather is available for Apple Snow Leopard).

There is a fix that allows the display of all installed voices and
the selection of any one as the default voice of the system. It's
run:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Speech\SpeechUX\sapi.cpl

instead of using the selection of voices TTS of Control Panel.
This fix works fine except for one unfortunate problem.

The statement of Visual C/C++

HR = m_cpVoice.CoCreateInstance (CLSID_SpVoice);

Configures a voice object regardless of the default value correctly
Voice System.

The Visual Basic statement

Voice = new SpeechLib.SpVoice

causes a system crash or a program abort if the defect has voice
summer set on something else than a properly registered 64 voices
as Anna. 'Try Catch' is not catch this error. Note that
Set the voice = CreateObject ("SAPI. SpVoice") fails with the same
error.

There is no easy solution to this problem. It may, however, be lower
64-bit TTS voice concern as more become available.

First of all, Microsoft should certainly change the TTS box command
to use the same code as "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Speech\SpeechUX\sapi.cpl".

Second, Microsoft should correct the problem with the way in which
The statement Visual Basic 'voice = New SpeechLib.SpVoice' functions.
There is no reason that this cannot have the same capacity as its
Visual C/C++ counterpart.

Third, the application programs that use TTS could be written entirely
in Visual C/C++, the creation of the object of the voice could be in one
Control ActiveX Visual C or a wrapper might be used to access
CoCreateInstance.

Fourth, it is possible to modify the voice so registry entries
that the ILO 32 voices work with control panel TTS list. It's
easy to change the registry so that the voices are displayed. He
is, however, a consistent error message on failure of the audio
output. TTS registry entries are generally well documented.
Unfortunately, there are multiple entries for which there no publicly
documentation available. This in addition to a lack of technical assistance from the
either third party sellers of TTS or Microsoft voices makes
Cannot resolve the registry at this time entry.
These registry problems are not a problem when you use
'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Speech\SpeechUX\sapi.cpl '.

Fifth, one of the major reasons to be able to change the system
by default the voice TTS is to offer a choice to vote for programs
as MapPoint that automatically select the default value of the voice system.
There is no choice to the user to change the voice of MapPoint.
He has a key to register MapPoint
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MapPoint\17.0\USA\PreferredTTSEngine
It seems as if the TTS voice can be selected. Unfortunately, he
There is no documentation for this entry and change the name of voice is not
override the default value of the voice system.

Sixthly, the registry entries could be changed by program as well
the default voice to meet the requirements of
'Voice = New SpeechLib.SpVoice' only for this one statement. The
original Scriptures are then replaced before further use of the
The object of the voice.
It's far from perfect, but we chose this approach as the
best current compromise for our programming environment. One
unfortunate limitation is that Windows 7 64-bit and Windows Server
2008 R2 use different paths of directory registry TTS and values for
DefaultTokenId.
By the way, is an invaluable tool for working with the registry
Workshop to register for X 64. It can do copy/paste and more
several other useful registry operations.

The solution was change the given target, from "Any CPU" to "X 86". (Project-> properties-> Build).

Works like a charm too :)
