Help line never replies to email Cannot back up Registry

<< < (4/13) > >>

Hugh Pratt:
Sorry for delay

I have had major work pressures and unwilling to undertake major changes till finished.

I will be in contact tomorrow

Thanks!
Hugh

Boggin:
Thanks for the update.

I've previously tried the regedit/File/Export and Import but the Import has always failed with the error that it couldn't complete because the registry was in use.

The repair program must have a way around that when you use it to restore the registry.

Hugh Pratt:
That is very interesting and slightly scary

What does Microsoft suggest?

Regards

Hugh

Boggin:
Reading this article, it looks like you can use Export and Import on sections of the registry, but you can't do an en bloc Export and Import as I had tried.

The repair program is obviously able to do an en bloc restore.

I always create a manual restore point before I make any changes or installing a program on a trial basis that could affect the system and I've found that it's best to boot into Safe Mode to restore from the restore point.

Hugh Pratt:
Thanks - today is repair!

Backed up and restore point will be made

Hugh
