Missing Windows Servicing Packages files & update problems

Youtube shows the video in different formats, click on the gear icon on the video and you can increase the quality :-)

D'oh - jeez I'm thick sometimes - forgot all about the quality settings on youtube - probably 'cos I never touch them. Anyway I can view everything now, thanks, the only problem is that the latest backup I've done, as I thought, was from the 7th May ie. before the Repair install which was on the 9th. I'm guessing that means I can't use it? Is copying any of the hive from system32\config\regbackup an option as I've done previously?
Shane:
I dont know how that would do, I wouldn't use that old backup, and as for the backup in the config folder, check the date on it and see.
Once you get back up and running you may want to have my registry backup program installed and set to make a backup at every boot :-)
Did the error you got at least say which registry file was corrupt?
Shane
Tone111:
No it didn't say Shane, it was just a details pulldown on the Startup repair under the Send/Don't send box, which when you looked at it gave a list of about 10 bits of info like the OS number etc, the 7th just said "Registry corrupt" but no further explanation anywhere :sad:
The backup in the config/regbackup folder is from the 9th - I presume created at the time of the Repair install? Looking at the 5 files, and comparing them to the 5 in the Config folder, the only one that's changed the date/time stamp is the Software file - the others are all identical in both folders. Should I try backing up the Software file and copying the regbackup version?
PS - I do have your registry backup program but haven't used it since I first installed it last year or set it to do anything automatically, my bad in retrospect... :sad:
Shane:
Well just make sure to save the current reg files now in the config folder, then play around with replacing them with what ever you like and see what happens. Worse comes to worse you can copy the originals back :-)
