Windows Xp Pro sp3 missing reg key/keys. Initial Rt Mouse click not displaying

<< < (2/3) > >>

Boggin:
Did you check to see if there are any programs installed that you don't recognise ?

I'm not sure if Event Viewer will have recorded any changes that were made with the tweaks, but it may be worth having a look, although you may have to go back some to check the date and time stamps on the Errors.

Were you able to create a XP SP3 install disk from the website I linked to perform a sfc /scannow ?

Hi.
I have checked to see if there are any un-know files, no joy.
The link for the Windows .exe file leads no-where, but I did
download the iso from that web address.
Ran sfc /scannow, that ran OK but did not resolve the problem,
hence I think its a registry key or set of keys that have been removed.

I have told my GrandSon before not to this type of thing and to stay away
from my system unless I am present. He is a pain in the butt although
he did want to please me, shame it backed fired.

Many thanks again.
All the best.

I think you need to press him to remember what he did or used.

Were you able to check Event Viewer ?

justlookingaround:
Hi.
Yep. I keep pressing him to remember but no joy. He says he is not
sure who gave it to him to put on his dongle/pen drive.
He has had it quite some time, he says. I am not sure what to believe.

Any way, had a good look at the Event Viewer several times and can
not see what I think to be is a User/Mouse call to something.
Not to sure what I am looking for.

I leave the system to complete the boot-up then right mouse click.
the system shut-down and look at Event Viewer- time of entry.
Nothing I recognize.

I will get there with some help, I sure.

Just got to keep looking I guess.

All the best.

Boggin:
So he still has the program to ID what it is ?
