  Hi K - Ann,

  Thank you for the above information.

  I followed you instruction to back up the registry keys, but when I followed step number 7. Navigate to the location and look for the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open, the message of answers that I received from the registry editor has been as follows: -.

  Impossible to import C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Backup\Backup260910.reg of register: not all data was successfully written to the registry.  Some keys are open by the system or my other processes.
  
  So I closed my computer and restarted. I then followed your instructions again (this time save the backup of the registry to a member in the same library, called "Backup260910bkup"

  Yet once, when I followed the number of the step 7. Navigate to the location and look for the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open, the message of answers that I received from the registry editor has been as follows: -.

  Impossible to import C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Backup\Backup260910bkup.reg of register: not all data was successfully written to the registry.  Some keys are open by the system or my other processes.

  Can you tell me what I need to do to work around this problem of backup of the registry?

  I look forward to receiving your response.

  Thank you

  Hi NeilRClark,

  When a registry key is blocked from change, the user can also run a. Registry Registry REG entries to merge the registry keys, values or the value in the system registry data, with the following permission denied error message:

  Cannot import RegistrationEntries.reg. Not all data was successfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes.

  To solve this problem, the ownership and grant full control (read and write) permissions and rights on the protected system registry key.

• I am recovering data from 720 KB diskettes.

  About 14 years ago I saved about 150 paint files (all illustrations) on 25 Dysan double face, double pre-formatted density 720 KB 3-1/2 "floppy disks.  I am their opening and copy of Windows XP.  Everything works fine, except for two 2 discs.  The program tells me that the disks are not formatted, and I want to format it now?  I said 'no' because I didn't want to erase all data.  It does the same thing at first to a single disc, which later, I was able to copy.  Do anyone knows how I can get back safely the work of these 2 diskettes, or I won't be able to recover this data?  Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

  I used it to recover data from some pretty bad removable media:

  http://www.CGSecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download

  It's not pretty, and if you need to have a GUI for doing things on the computer (with 14 years of experience, I'm sure you did a little work on the command line!) this is not the tool for you.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

• problems after upgrading firefox. reset this is ugly. created the new profile, but can not recover data from old profile.

  I use firefox on a MacBook pro. Mac OS X version 10.7.5. There was an update of firefox on a day or 2 ago. Since this was done, I was getting 'syntax error' 5 times, each time that a page has been loaded. Some research has suggested that an application or a plug-in called "social fixer" might be the problem but I could not understand how to get rid of it so decided to try to reset Firefox. Minutes passed and a message was on the screen saying the old files of firefox have been been "cleaned" or something, but it seems to be 'stuck' because the progress bar was little jerky. Doesn't it usually doesn't. So I clicked on "Cancel". After that, I couldn't even firefox to start. Looks like my profile is unavailable or inaccessible. Following the instructions found on the support site, I created a new profile and I thought I copied the files from the previous firefox on the new profile, but when I run firefox, it's a blank slate. None of my bookmarks or passwords are there. It must be here somewhere, but I can't seem to understand.

  Looks like there was a problem with updating the profiles.ini file.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file

  You can try to remove the current profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile where Firefox has not done that.
  You can check if there is a profile folder with a number of attached time stamp and in this case, you can set the location of a profile created in this folder.

  If it is only the data (not apps) I use Dropbox. It turned out to be the best way to move things between the side Mac and the bootcamped Windows of my iMac side. I don't see why it would not work to move data from a virtual machine installation of Win to a BootCamp installation.
