Issues with CD-ROM drives.

(1/3) > >>

GraveDigger27:
I installed Tweaking.com Registry Repair 3.6.1 on a couple of my systems and discovered a major issue.  After I did a complete backup of both systems, I ran the utility following the steps outlined.  Both systems were running Windows 10 and were working fine prior to using the utility.  After running it on both systems, my desktop system (with 2 CD-ROM drives) and my laptop (with a single CD-ROM drive) no longer showed the drives as being installed.  I opened the Device Manager on both systems and found that the drivers were no longer active.  I attemped to update the driver, then uninstalled the device and restarted the system - still didn't work.

I ultimately restored the older backups which restored the drives and deleted Registry Repair from my system.  This would've been a major issue for a new user and I don't think it's ready for release until the problem is resolved.

Hello,

I just want to use my computer.  I am not a programmer, coder, engineer or anything else - just an everyday +60 year old person who wanted to do a little house keeping on her computer

I ran Tweaking and my CDrom drive no longer works.  I went searching for the Restore folder to put things back to rights before Tweaking and after 4 attempts can not restore to ANY point.   Always g et error message that System Restore has quit working.  That there are files missing.  Retry using another restore point.

I am afraid to uninstall because in the 100's of folders may lie the answer to restoring my computer back to an acceptable and functional state.

I have attempted to attach the Log file  (can only post single items and not the log itself) that shows that more than 90 per cent of the attempted repairs failed, were denied access or just listed an error.

I think you released this TOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOON and have hurt a lot of people.

I disagree that they rushed it out too soon, I've used the program in the past and had no issue with it.  However, the latest release (version 3.6.1) does appear to have a major problem with the way CD-ROM drives are handled.  This needs to be resolved soon.

As always I recommend that everyone do a FULL BACKUP of their system JUST IN CASE.  These tweaks are very powerful and to be honest, if you're not sure what they're doing you can really screw up your computers.  My desktop and laptop systems had a few issues and I hoped that running the program would resolve some of these, but it's NOT FOR EVERYONE. I was able to restore both systems to the way they were before I ran the utilities and all I lost was a little time (having a full backup of my existing systems on an external hard drive is irreplaceable...) but not everyone is prepared.

Hopefully you've been able to restore the system (try the registry restore feature and the backup features first...)  Otherwise I'm afraid that you might need to find someone who's familar with computers and is able to restore the system for you.  I'm a old-timer myself (60 plus years) but I've been using computers since the days of DOS (as well as Atari computers...)  Having a backup is a must or you're going to find yourself in a LOT of trouble.

Good luck.

I sincerely respect your right to disagree that the product was released too soon.

I maintain my right to feel that this version was rushed to market after reviewing the dates/updates of applications etc.  After reading through the forums, there were many issues from the beta and after.  It is my misfortune for having not read through the forums before installing and running; though the product was recommended form a trusted source.

I am deathly afraid to do a registry restore in as much as there were 15260k of errors for the HKLM_Permissions_Error_Log.txt_Notepad  alone - just a rough calculation- but if 1 error is 4k, then could 15260. be just under 4000 errors?

The HKU_Restore_Default_Permissions_Error_Log.txt_Notepad has well over 100 entries of SD errors.

I feel that at this point I should find a way to save those things that are precious to me and do a factory reset.


I am running Win7 Home Premium and followed all directions!!

Have you ran the repairs in safe mode? and also what exactly does not work with your cd-rom drive? and does anything work with it at all?  and with the restore option it looks like you used system restore to restore ill upload a picture on how to restore your registry settings with windows repair.
