Hi Shane

Ran the latest 1.9.12 and i had to skip (un tick) the RESET REGISTRY PERMISSIONS although 01/03 went through ok, but 02/03 and 03/03 didn't. It was taking for ever.

Interesting that version 1.9.10 had little problem with this.

Also the Vista Windows Updates seem to be working with no pending.

Thanks again

Shane:
The reg permissions repair hasnt changed at all since v1.9.10

There are over a million keys that have to be gone through. And the exe that is setting the permissions needs as much cpu as possible. The fast the machine the faster the repair.

But if the machine is slower and you have other things using the cpu it will slow it down.

An example, ran all the repairs on a new machine total time was 15 min.

Ran it on a older machine with 2 core cpu took 40 min.

Then I had a 8 year old xp laptop, 1 core cpu and the system itself was so slow you where lucky to open even firefox in under 3 min. The repairs took 4 hours.

The CPU plays a big part as there is a lot of work to be done.

Oscar:
Thank you

It actually stalled, hadn't moved for about 40 minutes

Is there anything i can do, would rather do the whole reapair without skipping (unticking)?

Thanks again

Shane:
Are you sure it stalled? It would have had a command window open showing that it was working. It would change to red with white text and you would see the modified number grow.

Try it again and get me a screen shot if it stalls again :-)

Shane

Oscar:
Yes that window does appear but stops, Modified, failed etc.
