I uninstalled a program that says he would remove the registry entries but the system subsequently restore says I have does not changes to the computer.
What can I say? System Restore is not useful for me. Too often, there is no restore my computer to an earlier state.
System Restore rarely admits that I had changed the computer - even when I uninstalled programs in the root directory. What takes to "make changes to my computer?
Install programs often has no changes - he said.
Often the programs uninstaller is not make changes either.
I did both today and could not undo the changes. Tired of this.
Save the register will take the place of the system restore?
At least I can save the computer with Acronis True Image or Norton Ghost.
Thank you
Richard
What is your system brand and model?
What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
What problem are you having this thing you that System Restore will remedy - or you're just in practice? (It should still work).
Some anti-virus / Anti-Malware tools 'protect' your system so that they will not allow a restore of the system work properly.
For example, if you use Norton/Symantec products, you will see a message like this:
Restoration incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored...
It is also a popular Symantec problem (well, I'll be polite and call an "undocumented feature"...), they wrote an article about it:
http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/sharedtech.nsf/pfdocs/2005113009323013
Depending on what you use for malware protection, you may need to disable the product temporarily, to the restoration of the system, then
Turn on the product.
Sometimes you need start your system in Mode safe and so that your protection programs are not running, and then do the system restore.
Tips from Microsoft in some of their articles that if the system restore does not restore your computer, start in Safe Mode, and then run the system restore. Well, it seems to work for some configurations.
System Restore is sometimes so afflicted or Restore Points are suspicious, the best solution is to reinstall your system restore. This will remove the old Restore Points, but sometimes it's the only way to fix a broken system restore. You don't have to reinstall XP, only the part of system restore.
Give these ideas some consideration if they apply to you.
Sometimes malicious will afflict your system restore to prevent you to find and remove malware. It would much rather you trick into thinking that you need to repair or reinstall your XP when it is not necessary.
No matter what you use, I do so and then only begin to solve any problems:
Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:
Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
It can be uninstalled later if you wish.
The scans by operating clean, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues.

Original title: problem e mail
I click on the links in the email and get a box that says: "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" and the link cannot be opened.
Suggestions;
1. make sure that your e-mail program is your default program.
2. make sure that your Internet Explorer, or your main browser has all its faults.
You can do both of the above by following these steps...
Start button > right column, click default programs > click Set Your Default programs...
1. click on your e-mail program > it doesn't say "this program has all its defaults"?
If not, click on choose by default for this program > check all boxes below the list > click on save when finished.2 do the same as above for your Internet Explorer, or your main browser.

Method 2:
Try to run Microsoft Safety Scanner for any malware or spyware infection and check if it helps.

Go in run and msconfig!
Under the control of services tab hide all microsoft processesThese are the programs that are running at startup you can go through the menu of your program and configure each individually to run at startup.If you decide it's not worth having to go to control panel and then programs and then decide to uninstall the program.If you decide to use your drive to factory restore do not forget to install the programs you need. -
When I start most of the programs that is lock and on the taskbar it says program does not. How can I stop this from happening?
Original title: Windows Explorer
It is a good number with a boot drive (C:\ drive) that is cruelly of free space.
A healthy walk NEEDS 20% free space at least to work properly and prevent your suspension system.
Several causes are possible, but check your free space. Upgrade your hard drive if necessary.
More RAM might help too.
Check these before you attempt to update or install anything more.

I installed photoshop elements 12. When I open the program it says I have to log in and register within 7 days of use of the program through the adobe application manager. When I filled out and press on send just, he turns and does nothing and I can't use the program. What should I do to get the operational programme?
Hi Louisi91020131,
I saw your Adobe ID (email address), you used to post on the forums, and I see that your Photoshop elements 12 is already registered on your account.
I suggest to uninstall the product and reinstall it, to Download Photoshop Elements | 14, 13, 12, 11, 10
In addition, please turn off any security software or firewall temporarily what could cause this problem.
