No special reason other than to speed things up in general if possible. Still getting the EULAs.

That would be WinXp Pro, SP 3. Okay, I will try the uninstaller and set it up again with new download.

No, I reinstalled because the old one was outdated and said it was missing files.
Before I re-installed, I uninstalled from cntrl-panel/add/remove programs.

... and can't get rid of the end user license agreements (EULA). Doesn't seem any way to click out of them. Also, there's no way to get past it to start working the actual program.
It starts 'checking files' and then another EULA popup happens.

> "are you running as an administrator account?"'
Good question I'm afraid. Re-installing Silverlight, I tried many options, like setting up a new user account to install Silverlight from there (suggested in Windows Support pages) . Everytime I would reboot, it set up as the New User with zero settings history, and zero of my programs and files. Windows had also changed the "New User" into the Administrator somehow. I had to 'logoff administrator' and F8 every bootup to get back into my real Administrator account. After much frustration (probably a brain tumor from this), I tried deleting the new 'New User Account" I had made for this purpose of trying to re-install Silverlight (is a week ago).
Probably a fatal error, eh? Isn't the Administrator's Account supposed to be underlined in Control Panel/Settings/User Accounts ? After Windows or something on Windows changed the New "New User Account" I made last week into the Administrator's Account I was not able to change it the setting. Windows would not allow me to do it. So I made sure my old real logon account said 'Administrator' (I changed the name back and rebooted and made sure I had two Administrator Accounts) then deleted the new blank account that had none of my collected files and settings but was still being referred to as "Administrator's Account" and....
A gamble that didn't pay off, I gather. I assumed it would revert back but no. So the official underlined Administrator is now either gone or in limbo somewhere. The good is I still have access and direct reboot into my old Administrator Account so that I don't have to log off Administrator and F8 twice and then 'choose account' anymore. The bad is I don't think Windows recognizes me as a true Administrator anymore. The temp account that Windows somehow changed into Administrator apparently took the Windows ownership with it when I deleted it to get the computer to reboot properly. Unfortunately, I have no WinXP disks for reinstalling it.
So, if your program is looking for a proper Administrator Account, maybe that's why 'Restore Registry' will not function? I had so many System Restore points on there that apparently Windows views any excessive amount as trash and wipes them.
I don't know if it makes a difference but there _are_ Repair Backups listed in your Program (about 5 of them) dating back to Oct 18, 1:00 AM.
If there is a successful 'System Restore' would there be an affirmation from the Program upon reboot? Because I saw no indication anytime/everytime I tried it.

Boggin or Shane:
Boggin's question to me describes what the problem is. ALL my System Restore points disappeared. There were about ten of them from trying to install and reinstall the monstrous evil commonly known as Microsoft Silverlight. Well, I finally (with some fixes that somehow worked after trying them multiple times) got an older version from last year working in Netflix. But as far as tweaking.com's Windows Repair goes, I refer to my initial post:
http://www.tweaking.com/forums/index.php/topic,3785.msg27166.html#msg27166
I did correct the 'Sounds and Audio Devices' problem although I have no idea how. But I still can't work the Restore Register problem as indicated.

I tried attaching a screen pic, but it said the file was too big? The minimize/exit is now twice it's size from doing the Windows Repair. Can anybody give me at least a lead on this since no one helped me with the original problem and I've now grown literally deathly ill?

General Computer Support / Can't Restore Previous Registry from Backup -- WinXP Pro
« on: October 18, 2015, 08:44:09 pm »
Using Tweaking.com Windows Repair v3.6.1.
Have been trying for two hours .
The Windows Repair did not work for me. It kept disabling "Sounds and Audio Devices". Chkdsk /f would solve it for one boot. Upon each successive reboot, I would have to run Chkdsk /f to regain simple volume and mixing controls. I got tired of that pretty quickly. It also did not help me with my Netflix computer-freezing problem (which is why I ran the program in the first place) either.
I backed up the registry using v.3.6.1 before I installed the initial 'Windows Repair'. That backup is still listed in v3.6.1. Unfortunately, I did not do the same with my System Restore being that I figured "Tw Windows Repair" would take care of it, as it claimed.
I selected my restoration point from the toggle bar under the "Restore Register" tab, made sure the fixed items were checked, and clicked 'Restore Now' at the bottom of the screen. I did it from Normal Desktop mode, I did it from Safe Mode (with Networking). No Restoration of the previous Registry occurred. I've repeated the procedure six times.
Please help me to get my pre-v.3.6.1 Registry back, somebody!
