On reboot, the system using old registry keys

When I restart my system, it uses some old registry settings. The desktop resolution, background and the old file locations are adjusted to the same settings, regardless of what I put it at the stop. for example, if I change the resolution of 1600 X 1200 or 800 X 600 or any other parameter, the next time I reboot, it is up to 1280 X 1024 (my material is sufficient for resolutions). Even on the files. If I copy / paste a file in a different directory, at the next startup, the file already exists in the old directory as well. But I am able to add new files to any folder.

I suspect that some malware changed some registry keys. Please tell me if my guess is correct and solution, as appropriate.

Thank you.

    Hello

    The ASR (automated system recovery) tool must have a disk for restoration purposes. The best option, if you really want to use ASR, is a floppy of USB external as suggested by chrisamiller.

    You can also follow this procedure to create the ASR files without the floppy drive and then copy them to another location to create a floppy disk or, if you're lucky, your PC can boot from a USB key (I never tried to start ASR on a key, do not know if it will work or not, but it might be worth it) :

    "You can"trick"the ASR in the race without a floppy drive." When it gets to the point where he writes on the diskette to cancel it. He writes two files, which are used for recovery, in the Windows\Repair directory. After completing your ASR copy these two files (files asr.sif and asrpnp.sif) to a network location and then make the diskette also. Make sure you update your disk whenever you make a new ASR or your backup will be watered.

    Or, you can use a USB floppy drive. It is sometimes the only option, especially if you need to install SCSI or SATA drivers during the recovery. »

    a: when you start the backup, it may be in Wizard mode. Follow the link to the Advanced Mode.
    b. Backup tab.
    c. click on the box next to the drive you want to back up so that it has a blue box.
    d. backup media or file name: Browse.
    e. Select a new file name on your CD.
    f. start the backup.

  • HP Pavilion g6-2298nr: when HP Recovery is not available... the system using Windows 8 as image backup?

    I would like to start with a big shout out to Paul T for his VERY useful thread here!

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/Windows-8-product-key-for-pavil...

    Family of a friend asked me to work on their laptop, because I know more about computers they do... they are people very well, was happy to help out, but true to form, like many PC users, they did not bother keeping the documentation provided with the laptop (HP Pavilion g6-2298nr), or they bother to burn recovery using HP DVD built in recovery software which is comes standard on laptops... If I am interpreting what HP's Web Site had to say about the laptop model HP Pavilion g6-2298nr, correctly, she is the serial number it is no longer eligible for free technical support and I have to pay a fee just to talk to someone and to order recovery of the HP DVD (family friend bought in Dec 2014 so it seems REALLY odd that I wouldn't be able to just order) DVD recovery without having to pay tech support a tax just to ask to order the recovery DVD!  .. But anyway...) ...

    Where was the product key "integrated" in the BIOS really comes in handy!   I crossed my fingers, used the method mentioned in the thread linked above, and it worked!   ... have to admit it was a bit strange at first, do not use the product key sticker like the old days, but I can see how it works better in the long term - helps prevent piracy, you don't have to worry if someone who do not realize the importance of product keys thumbnail it takes off and he throws...

    Unfortunately, it seems that when you reinstall Windows in this way, you lose the HP Backup and Recovery program ... in this case my friend family had the misfortune to pay someone to repair this laptop which has not bothered to tell them "Hey, I replaced the hard drive that goes wrong but if you don't get a laptop cooler for this sucker to the laptop just going to overheat again." ... of course, the money they paid what we call 'tech technician' who went down draining when the laptop fried a second drive hard, or maybe the tech them faced with a bad hard drive, who knows? (technology bought a hard drive OEM off ebay)...

    ... Sorry to sound harsh about this type of technology, I must confess I only worked in the field of PC repair for a few months more than a decade before letting him make a stay-at-home-dad (wife is a pharmacist so I'm lucky enough to be able to stay at home) so my experience is VERY limited compared to other people... but the back then I have always treated my customers the way I would treat a friend , and if it's a friend of you offer advice on the prevention of such problems in the future... this laptop gets HOT like you wouldn't, I seated him on a very reliable laptop cooler (slab thickness of aluminium which does a great job as a radiator with the fans, this one)

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16834953038

    "(and I left my friend's family know in no uncertain terms that they need to order this laptop cooler if they use this laptop...).

    Replace hard drive, I installed seems to work very well, but of course it is not an "official WD hard drive"... when I tried to install the software of cyberdirector photolink for example on the link below, received an error message "this is not a WD hard drive so cannot install this software"...

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-G6-2200-notebook-PC-series/5296082/model...

    that is fine I really don't think my friend family cares about this program... but it makes me wonder, even if I did trust the download at this link below

    http://www.TechSpot.com/downloads/5190-HP-backup-and-Recovery-Manager.html

    If program HP Backup and Recovery manager would work even first because it is not an official hard drive WD (I also ordered a hard drive OEM off ebay .. but does not support the family of my friend for the drive hard because they were good for my munchkins and did not want to pay through the nose for a more expensive hard drive so of course I tried to minimize my own...)... I also think the type of program is based on a "C" and "D" drive is set up as if it were when the laptop comes with the original hard drive and saves a copy of the backup on the disk "D"... I guess I could use disk management to create a different partition, label it "D" and see if HP Backup and Recovery work, but it seems a bit... questionable... not to mention that I feel uncomfortable to download something that is not directly on the HP Web site as an "official"... download

    I know that Windows 8 has a utility of 'image system' built-in that allows you to do exactly that... an image of the system... as I said my friend family is good people, but I'm guessing that sooner or later they're going to screw up this laptop by pulling again as do many users of the computer... it would be nice if I could burn a system image of what is on the laptop now on DVD and hang on, then when they come back to me screaming in the future ' help, laptop does not work yet! I can just restore the system image on DVD instead of having to go through the hassle of reinstalling Windows, graphics/audio/drivers etc., zillion Windows updates and an etc. all over again.

    What I was asking, that is... would this even work?    I have never tried to use the image of the system in a situation like this with the product being key ' built in ' BIOS, this kind of thing is brand new to... worth me burning the DVDs and hung their just in case where?

    Sorry for the long essay and thanks in advance to anyone who actually takes the time to read all this!

    Hello:

    Yes, which makes a system image will work.  I do it all the time.

    PC GE set up the way you want and make the image of the system and the usb drive recovery you'll need access to the system image, or you can use W8 OEM disk made you (via the menu to repair your computer at the bottom left of the screen install Windows when you start from the DVD) to boot from, and access to the system image.

    If you have the DVD you have to more than one.  Probably not less than 4.

    But as much as to try to submeter a recovery partition, which is not going to work.

    I am very surprised that you cannot order a set of recovery discs HP online at the link below, last line labeled order recovery media.  Some people have reported trying to enter information such as the serial number and the link is dead.  But nothing venture nothing have nothing.

  • try to reinstall the software HP provides registry key there is no error

    Registry problem?

    Several days ago, I uninstalled Norton Internet Security 2011 and installed AVG Internet Security 2012 on my and my portable computers wife. Today, I discovered a problem on his requiring the uninstallation and reinstallation of our HP printing software. Siena (running Windows XP Media Center edition SP3) worked as expected. However, on mine (running Windows XP Pro SP3) reinstalling the HP software stopped and could not continue. The following message appears: "Windows Installer Registry - this registry key does not exist and is required for the installation to continue. Please make sure that the registry key exists and click Retry to continue the installation. "Registry key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ {000c101c-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}.

    Two days ago I was able to install AVG so I suspect that something has happened with the HP software uninstalling.

    So, I need help and recommendations on a fix. I hope that the fix is not to charge the full operating system. If absolutely necessary I can do but this is not the preferred solution.

    First of all, the thread that I've referenced mentioned two key.  So when you checked, have you looked at a time

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ {000C101C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

    and its main

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ {000C101C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} \ProgId

    If both of these keys have identical values as identified in the linked thread, run the reg file should have no effect one way or another.

    Do a system restore to a point before you changed antivirus applications is an effort worth it.  You can not, however, use system restore to uninstall and reinstall the applications.  Before your doing a system restore, uninstall AVG.  Do the system restore.  Then re-install Norton (or, better, don't reinstall Norton; in this case, make sure that you are not connected to Internet).  See this FAQ--> http://bertk.mvps.org/html/tips.html#5

    In fact, if you haven't already done so, you can run the tool to remove Norton, just to make sure that your problem is not caused by a few remaining remnant of Norton.  See https://www-secure.symantec.com/norton-support/jsp/help-solutions.jsp?lg=english&ct=united+states&docid=20080710133834EN&product=home&version=1&pvid=f-home

    Microsoft KB article you mention addresses issues to uninstall applications.  As a general rule, Norton products should be removed with the removal of the above link tool.  Installs the printer may be deleted by following the directions here or here.  The Windows Installer Cleanup utility can be very useful.  Unfortunately, Microsoft has removed this utility of its download servers because it sometimes more removed he was supposed to.  It can always be obtained from http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html is a similar tool (free) Revo Uninstaller.

    Good luck.

    I think that this virus - the main I think is trojan. BHO-keep coming back on my computer using System Restore.  Panel crashes every time I try to disable the system restore.  It crashes whenever I try to do anything in safe mode.  As mentioned, I can't get rid of it in the registry as it won't let me.  I have Microsoft Security databases, which doesn't quite work.  I have temp got rid of it with malwarebytes, more than once, but this virus so that perhaps others stay on my pc. I have Vista.

    I tried several analyzers and I don't know what to do if it won't let me get rid of it manually.  Also, he won't let not use my sidebar.  When I click on it anywhere it just makes a noise.  Could someone please help?  I'd be happy.

  • When you try to restore the system using the system image, Windows 7 does not find the USB HDD.

    I have 3 computers backed up with their images of system on an external USB drive.

    However, when you try to restore a computer using system image, Windows 7 fails to find the USB HDD.

    I think it would be probably due to the fact that the WindowsImageBackup folder is probably not in the right place or a superfluous folder. Here's an example of how my disk backup has arranged record...

    Root for example E: /.

    -Computer #1

    - WindowsImageBackup
    -ComputerName #1

    -202348 backup 2016-05-29

    -SPPMetadataCache

    -MediaID (file)

    -Computer #2

    - WindowsImageBackup

    -ComputerName #3

    -202348 backup 2016-05-29

    -Catalogue

    -SPPMetadataCache

    -MediaID (file)

    I realize that the WindowsImageBackup folder should be at the origin, so I moved this computer folder #1 a less E:\

    However, restoration is unable to find it and can't even see the USB HDD.

    Can anyone offer advice on what I can hurt?

    Hi LindseyMarsh,

    Thanks for posting the request in the Microsoft community!
    I understand that the computer Toshiba laptop says "no boot system reboot device please. Try the suggestions and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    Method 1:
    You can try to repair the computer:

    (a) starting from the DVD of Windows 8.

    (b) click on repair your computer.

    (c) click on troubleshoot.

    (d) click on Advanced options , and then click auto repair.

    (e) follow the on-screen instructions and complete the repair.

    Method 2:

    If the computer does not boot the system from windows DVD then it could be a setting in the BIOS that is not compatible to windows startup 8 DVD or it's hardware

    You can make sure that the boot order is correct in the BIOS (Basic Input Output System), and the video card settings.

    For all related parameters of the BIOS, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer for support.

    BIOS settings are different for the different computer based on the motherboard manufacturer and the key to enter the BIOS can vary.

    Note: changes to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Just reply with the results. I'd be happy to help you further.

  • HP G71-340US recovery of the system using a new smaller hard drive (SSD)

    I replaced the hard drive on an HP G71-340US notebook with a Solid State Drive (240 GB).  The original drive (who did not) was a 320 GB drive.

    I tried to perform the Reovery of system using the recovery disks that I created when I bought the laptop.  However, the only option enabled when you are trying to restore is 'Factory Reset'.  When I choose this option, the recovery process may not continue his run as "... the hard drive of this computer is smaller than the original shipped hard disk.

    Is there a way I can go beyond that?  Any suggestions/help would be most appreciated!

    Thank you!

    HP System normal recoveries do not usually work on smaller hard disks. You may need to use a spinner legacy 320 GB hard drive and more capacity to perform the Factory image restore and then make a migration of data to the SSD. It is unfortunate that you chose to change for one SSD after the original spinner hard drive has failed.

    With SSDS, in particular the best method is to use a upgrade kit or data migration kit.

    A data migration kit consists of software cloning and a usb to SATA cable. The USB to SATA cable connect the SSD to the usb port of the laptop for the cloning process that is part of the migration of the data.

    The software provided by manufacturers such as Samsung and Corsair SSD are usually able to transfer all of the operating system and on a smaller hard disk partitions.
