Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

re: I NEED HELP..Please help me..desperate Monday, February 9, 2004 at 9:45 pm Posted by Ms. Eagle (33507 messages posted) For your first problem, post on the LavaSoft support forums for an explanation of Ad-Aware related questions. You'll need to be more clear on what you're asking, though! "There are a couple of HKEY_ words I dont remember- I really want to fix this problem....." Nobody can help, if you don't remember. "I think", doesn't work either. You need to get error messages down correctly and explain your problem, so it's understood. About your Internet Explorer problem, try repairing Internet Explorer: Go to Start - Settings - Control Panel - choose Add-Remove Programs. Click to highlight Internet Explorer then click the Change-Remove tab - choose Repair I.E. OK - Yes.

This is serious but not fatal. If you not a registry wiz kid I have recovered by re-booting holding down the F8 key and selecting COMMAND PROMPT ONLY from the start menu. Once in DOS type REGSYS which loads the list of the last 5 successful registry starts. Select the oldest. This should fix the problem. If NOT, Reload windows over its self. You should not loose any files or schructure. Windows will load its base files over themselves if you reply to the question to have windows re-load,(YES). This should also help with the second problem. I would suspect adware of corrpting the Windows registry.

So the boot menu DOS access would be preferable. On Monday, February 9, 2004 at 9:56 pm, John McMurtry wrote: >Your first problem is a corpted registry. This is serious but not fatal.

John, you don't know what you're talking about.... [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: I NEED HELP..Please help me..desperate Tuesday, February 10, 2004 at 1:32 am Posted by John McMurtry (37 messages posted) It must be late, the command is scanreg not regsys. Regsys is a utility I wrote for doing register work on a network. You can find scanreg on the path C:\windows\command and then type dir/w/o to display the directory (folder) in wide mose in apha order.

Other than that it should be OK. On Monday, February 9, 2004 at 9:33 pm, Kevin wrote: >Hello, I have had ALOT OF PROBLEMS for awhile now on windows 98 and I just found >out about this site.

Two, there's no such command as "Scanreg". [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: I NEED HELP..Please help me..desperate Tuesday, February 10, 2004 at 2:24 am Posted by John McMurtry (37 messages posted) Did you check or just putting this out there because? This recovery method is covered in the windows 98 resource kit and a required for passing the MSceritication on WIN98. However, it is mute in Opperating Systems after 98, as Xp Home and Pro. I don't know about 2000 or ME but would believe that is not in them eighter. To keep you happy I'll but out and NOT return BYE.

Tuesday, February 10, 2004 at 11:28 am Posted by Ms. Eagle (33507 messages posted) .....to tell me what Scanreg is. Apparently, you do. You're only trying to cause me problems. "Scanreg" alone is NOT a command. Stay out of things you know nothing about. [Reply or follow-up to this message] Dish it out by the platter but don't want a serving? Tuesday, February 10, 2004 at 1:34 pm Posted by jaf (3408 messages posted) > ..Stay out of things you know nothing about. I do, maybe you should too. You should know that Scanreg is considered a DOS external command like fdisk and it can be ran "alone" to check the registry for errors, or with options. The poster may have been way off base regarding its use here but it is still a command. Don't you think it is better and less confrontational to rebuff his post with factual information and that is really what the problem is? [Reply or follow-up to this message] I wasn't even talking to YOU... Tuesday, February 10, 2004 at 2:16 pm Posted by Ms. Eagle (33507 messages posted) No, you don't. You jump in everywhere on these forums just to cause conflicts and argue with someone..."Troll" behavior. I guess people like you need to cover up their incompetence by trying to prove someone else wrong. It wasn't necessary to explain to the poster, and it was totally irrelevant to the OP's post. I know what Scanreg is, I use it all the time. I guess you needed to use Google to do some research. You only posted to try to start an issue with me, which is basically what you're best at around here. Funny, I see nowhere on this board, where you posted a helpful reply? [Reply or follow-up to this message] you mean this isn't a public forum? Tuesday, February 10, 2004 at 3:10 pm Posted by jaf (3408 messages posted) Save the insults Carol. Your post was inaccurate. I don't think my reply was outside the forum guidelines? I hope it is the webmasters intention to provide a public forum here, where everyone can contribute ideas and information, not just a select few, for the good of all. In fact if you feel that strongly about the appropriateness of my replies in this thread I encourage you to report it and the others in which John McMurty and you participated, I would be curious as to their take on the appropriateness of your replies to him.
