Registry Compressor bug in XP

<< < (5/6) > >>

Shane:
I can fix any bug that I can reproduce. But I cant reproduce this one and it isnt giving any errors.

Do you have trouble on any other systems? Or is it just this one?

When I ran it a second time before rebooting, I was able to reproduce these access denied errors on the same XP machine:

C:\Windows\System32\config\default.new
5: Denied access.
C:\Windows\System32\config\sam.new
5: Denied access.
C:\Windows\System32\config\security.new
5: Denied access.
C:\Windows\System32\config\software.new
5: Denied access.
C:\Windows\System32\config\system.new
5: Denied access.

So, the error handling works for me too.

Is it possible that your program is not compatible with User Profile Hive Cleanup Service?

Shane:
Shouldnt be a problem.

The program is able to write the hive files to new files. The user profile is a simple move process at the system startup using the pending rename operations key in the system hive.

The program writes it to both the current system hive and the new one yet both are still not being replaced yet the other hives are as well. And the program gets no error, it thinks everything went fine.

Thats the hard part, nothing so far to give us a direction to look at.

I reproduced this bug on another XP, then I arrived to a conclusion.

In both OSes, I have a software called AnyDVD, which installs a driver component named SPTD.

Disabling SPTD driver through regedit as suggested here, RC seems ok now. No .new temporary extension in SYSTEM hive.

Odd thing is, I have AnyDVD with SPTD in another machine with Win7, no problem there (probably because my Windows 7 version is at 64 bit).

Shane:
Great fine bud :-)

I am at a loss to why the SPTD driver would keep the system from loading the hive though. At least it isnt my program lol. But I do want to find out what is going on with the sptd.

And sptd on the windows 7 would be a different version of the driver.
