Windows 7 updates corrupt registry

Win 7 running on a HP desktop computer.

Had not used the machine for 6 weeks.
Ran all the updates (too many for such a short period) now the machine does not recognize the optical drive.
Do you usually, = bad to shoot, manually uninstall and reinstall both as physical exercises and pilot, restored at a point before the updates.
Tested the optical drive in winXP, I have on a slave drive, and the optical drive is 100% functional.
I had a look on the advice of knowledge registry you KB papers and followed one of them, but he explained that if I had not of upper and lower case parameters (but call you it something else) list not not to do a manual correction in this way. I only saw the top not listed there so abandoned.
I have a removable DVD burner but WIN 7 is not installed that is and I cannot manually install the optical drive from the CPU with Nero 8 disc is not recognized. Average running installation, VICTORY, a Windows 7 disc repair cannot be done either.
Extremely frustrating and nothing like that happens with my MACBOOK...
How to repair the registry?

  • Windows XP SP3, corrupted registry. Corrupt / missing windows system32\config\system - restore via Recovery Console cannot copy files of origin of the system32 folder. Please help.

    When my husband's computer was incorrectly stop we met the ' Windows XP didn't start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM "error message. I understand that the registry is written on the judgment and that it is not rare that the registry damaged during the power failure or abnormal stop. Checking the bandages for details on how to proceed, and begin the process of recovery appearing in theArticle ID: 307545 of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545/en-us below:

    «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 folder System32\Config.» 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:

    1. 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.
    2. When the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
    3. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
    4. When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
    5. 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.

    There was no administrator password prompt, but the console began without incident. I was unable to copy these files to a folder. (Yes, I checked my spelling and made certain that the commands, parameters and syntax are accurate.) I created another directory and tested the console by copying the files to repair to the secondary directory. These copied without any errors. I was able to discern that there are no problems with the console itself.  At this point, I'm not sure how to proceed.  There is data that has not yet been backed up and must be recovered where it is suggested to do a new/factory install. Therefore, I need to know if there is another way to proceed to the recovery or if I do a fresh install. In addition, any suggestions on its disk data recovery, if the new installation is the only way to move forward, also would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Just to be clear, when you have tried, for example, to run this command:

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

    You have an error message (please report it to full) or maybe nothing happened.

    But you did another directory (say 'c:\windows\otherdir') managed by running the following command:

    Copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\otherdir\system

    If this is the situation in which you are in, you are essentially impossible to create a backup copy of the current registry damaged.  This is not the end of the world, because as you can see by reading the full article, you never use these files master anyway.  This step is just included "on the side of caution" so that you can restore the original registry files, corrupted, if for some reason you wanted to.

    Because you cannot start the system anyway, you might as well begin the process described in the article without creating these master files.

    You can either make the step remove first:

    delete c:\windows\system32\config\system

    or just try to copy the files in the directory of repair on the files in the \system32\config directory and answer 'Yes' when asked if you want to replace the existing file.

    Note that the success of this procedure assumes that you run the system restore.  Otherwise, you'll find yourself with the registry as there was when Windows installation - which certainly won't be compatible with the State of your machine today.

    Essentially, what you are doing are the following:

    1. While in the Recovery Console, restore the registry to its state when you first installed Windows.  This allows you to start Windows - but do not try to use any application program.

    2. in Windows, copy of the registry that is saved in a recent restore Point to a location that are accessible by the Recovery Console - but not by using the restore application from the system itself, because with the 'original' registry, System Restore is not aware of these restore points.

    3. While in the Recovery Console, restore the registry using the files you made available at step 2.

    I don't really know what's the point of the stage of section 4, unless it is to use system restore to restore to a different restore point.

    If you can't make things work by following the steps above, or if there is no recent restore points to use in step 2, then you are correct: you must backup your data, do a clean reinstall of Windows, then reinstall your applications with original media and restore your data from backup.

    If you are able to do step 1 and start Windows with its original register, you should be able to use the native Windows tools to backup your data.  I would not use NTBackup, but rather just copy (do not use the 'move' command) data on an external hard drive.  Alternately, you could boot from a live CD of Linux (for example, Knoppix) to access your drive and copy the data.  Or if you have a bootable CD from a like Acronis Disk Imaging application, you can use it.  If you would like more information in this sense, after return.

  • Satellite A100 WIndows XP SP3 - Corrupted registry?

    Toshiba Satellite A100 WIndows XP SP3.

    A few days ago I noticed that windows update has stopped working and I had network problems. New research has shown that the BITS service did not start and other services such as DCOM did not begin. Fix - It of MS failed with the error code 7255. I tracked the issue to a possible Trojan horse as the registry keys had been renamed % fystemroot %. I've edited the keys to any %, according to online tips and delivered to market successfully. This has not fixed the BITS issue but more googling suggested that I needed a parameters key that included the Systemdll=%systemroot%\windows32\qmgr.dll value in the BIT key in HKLM system.

    I added this, but now when machine re boots I get a partial screen, no task bar, I can perform certain tasks by CTRL-ALT-DEL and the functioning of the Task Manager. I tried to cancel the changes by running regedit, but it does not work. None of the user accounts, even in the CMD has access to most of the services or the directories.

    I have the Toshiba repair disk but it seems to want to do a complete re-install XP, while I have backups, it would be my last option because I still have to lose data.

    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:

    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

    How ever there are other issues related to this fixit said was the corrupt problem entered in the register, almost everthing verified fixit showed was in trouble.

    I tried "the pirates of registry" and does not really depend on their ability, the problem is still there.

    I changed the name on the wba file and had validated the operating system for the second time, no help at all.

    Although I could never use the web site windows update, I had automatic updates, windows allowed 132 + updates to install, even this will be undate is no longer this device, I tried to turn the auto update turned off the system restart, then activation updates, which did not help.

    At this point, present an repaired actually a problem of update, I know that xp only will continue until April 2014.

    Note it is a XP OEM operating system was complete with sp2, I downloaded and installed the sp3.

    as I said I installed manually all the available updates for this machine that were not needed and even the manual attempt to installed, updates, windows don't settle.

    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.

    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.

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • Inefficient Windows Vista Update - Error 8000FFFF - solutions

    I recently reformatted my hard drive on my Dell Inspiron 1520 Windows Vista 32 bit and was trying to reinstall all my drivers and my os back to date; I was hoping to install sp1 and 2 that day. However, after several rounds of updates without any hitches, I met update KB29777, who introduces himself as important and seems inherent in the system in order to install the sp1, and at the same time, sp2. I can't solve the problem with Error 8000FFFF

    That's why my machine's own almost all of the errors with a new os and reformatted hd.

    I tried all the solutions proposed for me and more found on these forums including;

    Fix It utility, followed by restart;

    manually remove the 3 potentially corrupt registry values (which were not there because there is a new os);

    and even download the update manually from the Download Center microsoft and tries to install (which says that it has been a success, but obviously wasn't)

    Anyone wants to shed light on the issue?

    Cheers, Hugh Wright

    Windows 7, update services does not, RESOLVED.

    The problem occurs when you change your hard drive for a bigger, in my hard drive of the case a GB Western Digital 340 WD 750 GB drive hard.

    For the Windows automatic updates again you need update the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driverdriver. It will not be updated when you have intel check your drivers! For me, only the 9.5.6.1001 version worked. This driver can be found at http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02219204 .

    Versions available at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng & ProductFamily = Software + Products & ProductLine = Chipset + Software & ProductProduct = Intel % c2% ae + Rapid + Storage + Technology + (Intel % c2% ae + RST) did not work for me (I tried the form version 12.8.0.106 08/08/2013.) Why does not the superior version is not clear to me.

    Good luck to solve you yours it took me two weeks to find it.

    Downloaded the latest Windows 7 update yesterday, November 3, 2009 and lost all my "Favorites" in MSN. Also, when I do a reboot, the Verizon FIOS Media Manager starts. Only the downloaded last update - has nothing else. Please notify

    Yes I have FIOS Media Manager installed, but I've done since the start of Windows 7.  For the first week or so it does not start on my download restarts.  It started with this Nov 3 update from Microsoft.  I went to downloads and there were two of them; Update for Internet Explorer 8 for x 64 based and updated Windows Defender definition.

    After you install these two updates on restart FIOS M.M. was live at startup and my favorite MSN have disappeared.  I disabled FIOS M.M., but somehow, he has been activated with this download.  I went on my drive external backup and recovered the Favorites but am always intrigued by this phenomenon and how it changed my registry.

  • Windows automatic updates to doubt?

    In windows 7, in windows updates, when we select "install updates automatically (recommended)" and then set the time when to install updates, to just install the updates then (downloads at any time seized in accordance with his will) or download them first at that time and then to install it?
    As my use of the internet is free from 02:00 to 08:00 and I want that windows should download the updates and install them automatically at 03:00 (it would cost my internet charges). If I put out there like "every day at 03:00" time, it will download at that time (which I want it to be), or simply install at the time (I don't want to use my day consumption for the updates of windows... I want to use the free part!).

    p.s. it restarts the computer automatically after installing updates (I don't want) or to delay the recovery until I wake up in the morning and do it myself (I want it)?

    If it does it automatically, is it possible to stop him?

    From: Understanding Windows automatic updating

    When the updates are downloaded?

    Updates are downloaded behind the scenes when you are online. They do not interfere with other downloads. If you disconnect from the Internet before an update is fully downloaded, the download process will continue the next time you're online.

    When the updates are installed?

    It depends on the automatic update option you choose. If you choose the recommended option, updates are installed at 3:00 or on a schedule you choose. If you turn off your computer before the scheduled time, you can install updates before shutting down. If your computer is in a State of economy of energy (sleep or Hibernate) during a scheduled update, and if your computer is connected to a power source, Windows will wake your computer long enough to install new updates. If your computer is running on battery, however, Windows will not install updates. Windows will try to install them instead at the next scheduled installation.

    Through the above information, it seems that Windows Update is download the updates when the system is online and install them during the scheduled installation.
    Updates need to reboot the system to replace files in use will be to reboot the system without any user interaction.

    As far as I know, when WU is set to automatic, there is no way to restrict the time when the system will download the updates.
    If the edition of Windows 7 is the ultimate edition, professional or business, one can configure the options of restart and guests reboots via Group Policy. In addition

    PowerShell cmdlets in Windows 7 introduces a set of 25 new cmdlets, which allow administrators to manage and automate Windows PowerShell through Group Policy. With these cmdlets, a COMPUTER administrator can backup, restore, report on and configure (through registry settings) Group Policy objects. This feature is added during the installation of the GPMC.

    PowerShell cmdlets also applies to editions listed above of Windows 7.
