Tweaking.com Support & Help / Windows Repair - Register System Files

« on: June 07, 2013, 12:05:33 pm »

I just ran Register System Files and noticed that the first part is run under the user account. Later a second part runs under the System account. Is this normal? I should think you would want all of the system files to be registered while running under the System account.

My PC runs Windows XP SP3.

Shane, that's good to know. Perhaps the Reset Permissions part of the tool should offer to remake the registry to remove corrupt keys as an option. It could even be an optional first step prior to the present Reset Registry at the top of the options tree.

I decided to take a chance and completed the registry compression. After a reboot I then ran the latest portable version of Windows Repair and selected only Reset Registry Permissions. This time in Normal Mode, not Safe Mode. It completed without error and instructed me to reboot. I did so and everything works. Not sure what fixed this unless the Compressor tool does the right thing in setting permissions no matter what the originals were.

BTW, I did not answer your question about checking for bad disk sectors. I did that before running the original test I reported. I also checked the NTFS status - it showed Clean.

I guess we can close this thread. I'll watch for your reply. Thanks for guiding me on this problem.

I ran Registry Compressor (Analyze) as you instructed. It completed without error. The program is still open - should I go ahead with Compress?

What determines the permissions of the new registry files that are created? If it is based on the original that could be a problem, but if it does "the right thing" it could resolve my problem by fixing some obscure problem with the original permissions.

Previously I was running it in Normal Mode. Because it crashed I thought I should try Safe Mode. So, to answer your question, the run that I reported to you above was done in Safe Mode.

Yes, psexec.exe does exist in the \files\ directory. I am using the portable version of your program. It has its own folder in my Tools folder on the desktop.

Looking at the Windows Repair logs I see the last four are local_machine_1 through 4. The 4th one has no content (zero length).

See attached Windows_Repair_Log.txt (I removed leading underscore in name). I question 02/03, which is hkey local machine. The fix is being run under current user account. Shouldn't that be under system account?

When I run Reset Registry Permissions (the only fix I checked to be done) my Windows XP SP3 crashes every time I run this fix. It's hard to tell at what point it is crashing because information flashes by so fast, but it feels like it is near the end. Windows stops with a message that says Registry Error.

It's probably a damaged hive but I have no idea which one. It would be useful to trap fatal errors to display what occurred but that probably is not possible since the system is stopped at that point.

What is needed is a read-only registry scan to detect errors before trying to set permissions. That suggests a new tool that fixes the errors after they are found. One thing that can cause this type of registry error is one or more binary 0's at the end of an entry.

Please disregard and feel free to delete this erroneous problem report. It appears that my Anti-Virus program was interfering with Window Repair. I had forgotten to disable it before running your program.

BTW, in your posting announcing the v1.94 update you mentioned the Insufficient Resources patch. I would like to suggest that it run by default. Perhaps you could check to see if it had already been applied first, although that probably isn't necessary. This patch may fix other issues that the user has encountered with resource intensive applications.

You might want to offer the reg file on your Toolbox page, in a downloadable zip file as you have done with other tweaks such as Auto-Kill Hung Apps. This suggests another optional feature for Windows Repair - a checkbox to apply Auto-Kill Hung Apps.

Hope to see you on Google+ soon. The new Communities feature would be ideal for your followers to communicate with you and each other.

Best regards,
Keith

After the first one is displayed I can click on any of the others but the first description remains.

Running Windows XP Home SP3.

 I downloaded Windows Repair (All In One) 1.9.4 Portable version. I think I may have found a bug in the Do Repairs multiple choice checkbox screen.

When I highlighted one of the names to see the description of what it does it displayed as expected. Then I highlighted a different choice but the description for the previous one remained in the display. I tried several others but it always showed the first one I highlighted.
