Yeah. Actually, I got a BSOD after restoring the registry, but that's because I was messing with classpnp.sys prior to that. I ran an automated repair from a Win7 repair disc; it ran SFC and restored classpnp.sys. Now it starts up great. I am still curious as to why I had my original problem, though. Maybe later sometime, I'll go through the WR tool and re-create each step one by one, instead of doing a bunch of fixes at once, to see what caused it.

ps: I chose the login length "Forever" here on the forum, but the cookies are always set to expire at the end of the session, so it logs me out everytime. Just thought I'd let you know. Not a big deal, though.

I just want to add for future readers, that if you want to remove all traces of video drivers, check out Display Driver Uninstaller. It's for both NVIDIA and ATI/AMD.

You just boot into safe mode, run it, restart, and install new drivers. It turns off Windows Automatic Driver Installation, to prevent from re-installing a version you don't want.
After you properly install your new graphic drivers, open up Display Driver Uninstaller and set this back to default.

And of course, it's always good to backup your registry and make a restore point before doing this.

I also recommend checking the "Remove C:\AMD and or C:\NVIDIA folders" option, so Windows can't automatically re-install old drivers. The aforementioned option should take care of that, but if nothing else, this might free up some disk space.

My program doesnt touch system restore, so not sure why those would be gone. The program should have done a registry backup.

It did. I think it did 2, actually - a backup as one of the steps, then I think it did an automatic one after clicking Start.

But you said when the startup repair runs that it seems to freeze or take a long time at attempting repairs correct?

Yea, it will sit there for hours on end.

How long did you let it run for?

The first time it ran, I let it run for like an hour. It never said it was running chkdsk, though. Then, I tried booting into safe mode but it went into automatic startup repair again, this time it showed it was doing a chkdsk. I let it finish, and it didn't seem to change anything.
Later on, I ended up doing a manual chkdsk /R /F through command prompt in repair mode, and it didn't find any problems.

Thanks for the reply, btw

General Computer Support / Windows All in One Repair - Blank Screen

Hello. I found your programs yesterday and they seemed very cool. I really like the tweaking one.

But, I used your all in one repair tool, and my screen is now mostly blank  on startup (except for some glitchy looking colors at the top of the screen; pictures below).
I used it because I found some MDAC errors on an SFC check. I haven't tried running system restore from cd yet, but was wondering if you knew what could be going on.

System info:
  Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5315
  OS: Win7 SP1 Ultimate x64

-----------------------

EDIT: I booted into the "Repair Your Computer" mode and did a BootRec /FixMBR & BootRec /FixBoot.
After I restarted, Windows went straight into the automatic startup repair and just got stuck on Attempting repairs. It does this on every startup now, whether I try to boot normally, safe mode, or last good known configuration.
I also tried a System Restore, but it said I had no restore points, even though I made several before using your tool.
