First run taking soooo long, can I abort it..
bmadams:
Well....it wont boot now, goes into that "Startup Repair"....so I backed up my Registry and create a Restore Point before I started...how do I roll all this mess back? thanks
bmadams:
OK, Vista Startup Repair did a restore and all is back to normal, did you program to repair Firewall (damaged from infection). Going forward, I will just be more selective with the repairs I need. I do plan on being a Donor toward this program as it proves itself.
Shane:
Looking at the cmd window screen shot, looks like the Microsoft reg permission tool my repair uses got stuck in an infinite loop!
You will see Wow6432node over and over. And you can also see it was over 2 million keys set. So you can tell it was in a loop.
I haven't seen the repair do that on any machine I have ran.
The only way a infinite loop can happen like that is if that reg section had a symbolic link back to itself.
Go ahead and run all the other repairs and skip the reg permissions one.
I would like to find out how and why the tool got stuck in that loop. :wink:

Shane, Thanks....believe it or not I do this for a living. Primary tools are Malwarbytes and Spybot...heavy hitter is Combofix...so I know you have put tons of work in this endeavor...I am trying to repair a Vista-64 machine from a very bad infection. I now wish I had just did a clean rebuild...anyway.....what looks like my last remaining problem is that it will not update. (oops, looks like the last fix fixed it). I was getting error Code 80246008 which kept referring to the BITS service which was missing from my list...anyway, after may trys i know have it in the Services list and "Started" and it looks like the updates are happening...
Shane:
I run a repair business myself :-)
I need to double check and see if I have the repair Windows Updates setting the bits reg settings. Did it get it working or did you need to add the bits reg keys back before it started working?
I still would love to find out why the reg permissions got stuck in a loop. The program uses the MS file subinacl.exe to set the permissions.
Since I am using their tool I don't have much control over it to handle loops. Only thing I could do is check for potential loops caused by symbolic links in the reg. But in order for me to make something to handle it I have to be able to replicate the problem in vmware on a test install. :wink:
