Windows Repair All In One Reset Registry Permissions Crash Problem

(1/3) > >>

w8sdz:
When I run Reset Registry Permissions (the only fix I checked to be done) my Windows XP SP3 crashes every time I run this fix. It's hard to tell at what point it is crashing because information flashes by so fast, but it feels like it is near the end. Windows stops with a message that says Registry Error.

It's probably a damaged hive but I have no idea which one. It would be useful to trap fatal errors to display what occurred but that probably is not possible since the system is stopped at that point.

What is needed is a read-only registry scan to detect errors before trying to set permissions. That suggests a new tool that fixes the errors after they are found. One thing that can cause this type of registry error is one or more binary 0's at the end of an entry.

Shane:
There should be a log file that shows which ones it last access that should help you.

Also make sure to do a bad sector check on the drive. It is possible part of a hive file is on a bad sector.

The program uses a tool from Microsoft to set the permissions. What was the exact error you got? See if it is in the event viewer and let me know :wink:

w8sdz:
Looking at the Windows Repair logs I see the last four are local_machine_1 through 4. The 4th one has no content (zero length).

See attached Windows_Repair_Log.txt (I removed leading underscore in name). I question 02/03, which is hkey local machine. The fix is being run under current user account. Shouldn't that be under system account?

Shane:
That repair is normally ran under the system account.

But if you are in safe mode it cant use the system account or if the \files\psexec.exe file is missing.

How are you running the program?

w8sdz:
Previously I was running it in Normal Mode. Because it crashed I thought I should try Safe Mode. So, to answer your question, the run that I reported to you above was done in Safe Mode.

Yes, psexec.exe does exist in the \files\ directory. I am using the portable version of your program. It has its own folder in my Tools folder on the desktop.
