Every time i think this site is awesome, you guys prove me wrong. This site is more than awesome. Does that only work if they have restore point enabled? What if it is disabled would you be able to restore the registry? Or does that even matter?
I have a better technique which involves repairing the registry hive in only a couple of minutes. I do like the look of this Registry Restore Wizard though, it saves the effort of hunting through the System Volume Information directory manually and renaming the files in there.
In my experience it is usually indicative of a failing hard drive, or at least file system corruption for some other reason that should be repaired first…. Again, this is usually due to a failing hard drive causing bad sectors, which is the case in the vast majority of my experiences.
Typically I will repair the drive with a factory diagnostic if applicable, clone the drive to a new one if applicable, replace all 5 registry hives with a recent backup no matter which was corrupted, and use a program I wrote which runs chkdsk until no errors remain. You can write this with a simple batch file as well, if chkdsk returns any errorlevel other than zero, re-run it. Naturally you will want to do the chkdsk part from your WinPE based boot CD, laptop, or tech bench system you are using to swap the registry hives.
Microsoft has officially documented the registry hive swap with a ton of unneeded steps starting with a parallel windows installation of course, but curiously with running system restore from safe mode AFTER swapping the hives. HOW do I do that?? Down loaded the fix program and it gives me a runtime error. Any help would be appreciated. Looks like a great program. I built the CD, the troubled computer loaded it, with splashscreen , then asks for network connection.
Neither the keyboard nor mouse functions. What do I do? I made a tool to automate restoring an old registry snapshots to replace a corrupted registry hive. It saves you the time of typing all the commands or dragging and dropping. It can be run from a windowsPE Disk or if you slave the offline drive to another computer. Please let me know if you find any bugs I have tested on a few computers with no issues.

Post as a guest Name. Email Required, but never shown. It is about a registry file of some Vista installation. One key in that registry needs to be fixed. But it is not possible to do it on own Vista, because it is not booting. The idea is to use for this purpose some other PC with win7 installed and running on it. Then to load the affected hive into reg editor and accomplish needed fix.
How is the chance to succeed while doing so? Edited by aapapapa Thursday, May 31, AM. Thursday, May 31, AM. Every Windows operating system has registry differences.
