Error in registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts\Database

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts\Database

This error keeps occurring on my Scan of the registry - how can I get rid of him?

What you need to get rid of is whatever program you use to make registry scans.  In general, they do not work and some are really dangerous (I've seen cases where they did so much damage all the Vista system was to be installed as a clean boot).  Do not pay attention to the mistakes that these programs show - they may or may not be true and 'fix' can cause more harm than just leave them alone.  Most are not really errors.  You risk serious damage to your system if you continue to use any scanner registry, registry booster, Fixer registry, registry repair tool or anything similar.  Vista doesn't have these programs - it does a job perfectly well to clean the registry on its own.

Please take my advice and uninstall and never use this device or any other product like it if you care about the integrity and preservation of your system and your registry database.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Unknown key in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion

    In XP Home Edition SP3 when I login I get the error message "C:\Windows\Bskblt.dll is not found." This does not happen with the other profiles.

    I was unable to create anything on this subject online, but Regedit shows the following key: Ksevewu REG_SZ "C:\Windows\Bskblt.dll" rundll32.exe, start.

    Two questions please.

    (a) someone knows something about Ksevewu or Bskblt. In other words I can delete the key.

    (b) I understand KHEY_CURRENT_USER is created whenever the data elsewhere, but Bskblt appears only in the registry. So where and how can I remove it so that it is not recreated?

    Any help gratefully reced.

    (a) the file listed in the error message is not part of Windows XP.  It was probably part of a virus or spyware infection that has been partially removed.  You can remove the key.  What is in hkey_current_user\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\run?

    (b) when a user opens a session, Windows copies of information on this user in the hive HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry of the user's profile data file:

    C:\Documents and Settings\ {name} \ntuser.dat user (a hidden file)

    When a user closes a session, Windows copies the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry hive to the file of the user's profile.  To remove the registry key will remove the entry from the profile data file.

  • Is it safe to remove all but one or two recent copies of the folder Windows Live Contacts located in AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Live Contacts?

    During a recent cleaning disc, I tried to 'explorer' of these files that take more than 150MB. I was unable to access the files and was motivated indicating that the folders were empty (even if the box 'properties dialog box' shows that they are each around 30 MB.)

    Real statistics for AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Live Contacts folders:

    My computer is very slow, but updated for security programs. I ran several scans which show nothing. I have also cleaned cookies, history and cache and ran a spyware.

    If these files do not appear in Autoruns, they are not running on your system and take so no resource performance.  You can also see the Task Manager by pressing CTRL-a: t - DEL and check open applications and open the process to see one of them appear.  If this isn't the case, then it proves once again that they are not taking up all the system resources and slow down your system.  I cannot know what they are, but to be slow down your system, or affect the performance they need to run, and if the foregoing shows that they are not then you're fine.

  • Windows Vista, what is the problem of with__HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\windows\currentversion\run

    Hello im using windows vista 32bite many programs I tried to install arrived to the top with this error HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\windows\currentversion\run. Make sure you have sufficient access to that key! Yes I have all permissions. These programs include itunes, quicktime programs like this I really want of them as I went there on the forums to see if they have ideas and your doing I was just wondering do you please
    Thank you

    You must run high Regedit.

    Start > Search > type: regedit
    When regedit appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator". Provide the password/OK for the UAC area and Regedit open high. Now, you will be able to delete unwanted keys. Be very careful in the registry - a bad deletion can take all windows down.

    User - recommended configuration (Vista and Win7) accounts

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all other Windows 7, Vista, and modern operating systems are operating systems multi-user with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want account only one user with administrator privileges on Vista and Windows 7 because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it may require more work you want to do. Better not to get into a bad situation at first.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    (& hSourceKey);
    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    Although I can read this key in "regedit", I had a "cannot find specified file" error (errno = 2).

    Why?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Thank you for your response.

    It's a "win32 console application" on windows 2008, so I can't compile it in 64-bit.

    After that I added KEY_WOW64_64KEY, RegOpenKeyExW() worked well.

    Your greetings.
