Title: Windows Repair v.2.10.2 can't perform repairs
Post by: genesis on December 03, 2014, 07:54:05 pm: last message on screen after reporting unable to repair has to do with "Tweaking_ras.exe" is being stopped and suggests I check my antivirus. I only have microsoft essentials on windows 7 and have put that file in exclusions but still getting stopped from doing repairs. Any further suggestions?

Post by: genesis on December 08, 2014, 07:23:59 am: getting this error message: The current repair has failed to start 4 times.
Something is keeping the repair from running.
Tweaking_ras.exe in the files folder is used to run the repairs under the system account, make sure your Antivirus isnt blocking it.
Please post in the Tweaking.com forums for support. This is happening at the Reset Registry Permissions 03/03
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT & Sub Keys

Post by: Shane on December 08, 2014, 01:53:15 pm: Odd it is having trouble on the 3rd section of that repair and is running fine on the other 2. Have you tried running the program in safe mode instead?

Post by: genesis on December 12, 2014, 10:58:55 am: I did try running in safe mode and was finally able to get it to run completely through the repair process (although that same warning came up on the 3rd section of that particular repair. Windows update still gave the same error. I returned to microsoft help and had further investigation done where the person on the other end told me after checking a few things that there was damage to the disk and asked if I wanted to purchase windows 8? Told him no. Not planning on wasting too much more time on this. Thanks for the help though!

Post by: Shane on December 15, 2014, 02:09:57 pm: So the person told you the hard drive was bad and then tried to sell you Windows 8? LOL

Good to hear my repairs where able to finish. Why did the person who helped you say the hard drive had damage?

Post by: genesis on December 16, 2014, 05:00:09 am: Not sure but there was a bad sector warning at one point (although only 28 kb affected) At any rate with the cost of computers being relatively low I may just purchase another and relegate this one to "gaming only" unless you believe it's worth the effort to keep trying to find a solution?

Post by: Shane on December 16, 2014, 09:36:31 am: Any drive that has bad sectors should be replaced. A new 5 year warranty hard drive from newegg.com is around $80. Then you have to reinstall windows. The only reason to get a new system is if the cpu and memory on that system isnt up to par to what you would like. Otherwise a new hard drive and reinstalling Windows is far cheaper :-)

Appreciated the speed in which you replied to each of my posts. I will highly recommend your site to anyone I know looking for help! :smiley:

Post by: Shane on December 17, 2014, 02:38:46 pm: Stick with Windows 7. Windows 8 is a UI nightmare and not many like it. Windows 10 is due out in fall 2015, wait for it, till then stick with 7 :-)
