Well, heres another thought;

Your program backed up what it found, that true, so lets try and guess it out a little further. shall we?

Copy the backup "REGBACK" folder to a USB, Insert and run the Install disk

Get to the Command prompt from the Install Disk;

Find the USB, just keep typing e: f: G: till it finds the usb drive

Open the folder with the dos_restore.com on the USB drive and hit enter

or if that fails;

do an XCOPY *.* to C:\

(please edit for corrections)

This method does not solve the screen issue

802
Yes, I removed the drive; put it on another system as the slave drive. Copied the files; but now my system has black screen boot problem... "The reason it now ha the black screen issue is from over a year ago". but I had re-stalled everything long ago and setup a dual boot sytem for safety...

Let us take a step back, remember my system was booting in D:\ (but I only backed up the registry for the C:\ "Plus I remember us discussing that your current program only backs up one registry. It does not support dual booting).

For example,

"I had made the mistake too copy the file to the C:\"

So now, how to fix the issue is?

WinPE for Vista: it does not work for 64 yet

http://www.multipe.exec-se.de/Documentation/multiPE/StartUp.htm

After boot, it says we can restore an old registry...

Let us have a try...

Copied them to both drives, reran the startup disk to check any issues

= No Luck with this method

Have also got the message once from th einsta ll disk it restored the old system files, that only left us nack with the black screen.

The issue with the black screen? it boots up, but seems to not refresh after it starts...

still checking =

The black screen with a blinking cursor in the middle

Also Note; it does go in standby mode but when I move the mouse, it still a black screen

Can you do me and a lot of people a favor?

Create a Vista Boot Disk using this Tool?

"then, I plan to go into the registry and import it, (maybe)"

It beyond me...

General Computer Support / Black Screen - Fixed
« on: May 24, 2013, 07:48:55 am »
Lets get started: my system boots in a black screen

Will not boot in any safe modes:

Is there an ISO disk that will reset the Drivers to the Windows Install ?

Then, maybe we can understands whats happening "it is software drive"

Ran SFC, CHKDSK,

I loooked in the event viewer, no help there either!

Seems I need to startup repair the display drivers to windows, but that is not an option...

Any Ideas or problem solvers... Thanks in advance, many people suffer this issue


805
I typed the Dos Command, but it said it can not find the windows directory and said to look online for help, but I so not see any references, do you have some?

TIA

Are you saying that: if I run this command from a repair window using the Install disk, it will work?

Or

If I put the Corrupt Drive in Another System as the Slave Drive, and then run the DOS_RESTORE command that, it will restore the System Files on the Slave Drive.

If I install tweaks on another system, and point to the backup files needed now to restore on the slave drive, they do not display as restore options; any chance we can get them to display and then point them back to the slave drive as an option. "Is that re-dun dent from running the DOS_RESTORE Command?"

When you get that error it is normally 1 of 3 things.

1. The video card is going bad or some other bad hardware such as memory. You can also get this if your CPU or video is over clocked.
2. Power supply is going bad and isn't giving enough power
3. Bad drivers.

Is your video onboard on the motherboard or do you have a card installed?

Shane

I would go to http://www.intel.com/ and run there automated driver update checker, I always found, it solves  most Display Problems
Just search and rund the automated driver checker on Intel's website... If it says you have NVidea, then go to the Nvidea website and run there Automated checker too

Next, is you laptop on a hard surface, I found that putting it on a suface with any clothe causes overheating and display problems, shutdown etc...

807
My repair tool does put back the Windows defender service. But if it still getting deleted then you may still have an infection on your system that is deleting it. :wink:

What tools have you ran to check  your system for infections?

Shane
is Microsoft Security Essentials running? If so, Microsoft Security Essentials turns off Defender by default

General Computer Support / Re: Explorer.exe malfunction
« on: May 24, 2013, 05:53:00 am »
In preparing to update a computer from XP SP3 to Windows 7, somehow Explorer.exe was corrupted/lost.  The computer boots to a fancy, blank screen.  The error message is:
Explorer.exe - Unable to locate component
The application has failed to start because Normaliz.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

So ... I've been searching for a download of Explorer.exe for Windows XP SP3 and entered a labyrinth of "fixes", including this one: http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-526383-explorer-exe-doesn-t-start
No luck.

I can get to Task Manager, New Task, and Browse.  I've connected an external hard drive that, if it had the correct version of Explorer.exe, perhaps I could run Explorer.exe from there??

Or edit the Registry?  Explore.exe is in several places in the Registry.  Except not where Windows needs it at Startup?

I remember this error well; I fixed it by copying that driver to the windows system folder, but make sure you have the right version, as I remember, ther were other drivers I needed to copy as well.

General Computer Support / Re: Lines down screen
« on: May 24, 2013, 05:50:08 am »
A  couple of months ago the laptop developed a line down the screen, now another one has appeared.

Is there anyway i can repair this myself or cheaply?

The computer is old.

> Find an OLD REPAIR SHOP to replace the monitor OR ANOTHER SYSTEM Same as yours on some website like EBAY!

Hi

Is there such thing and any suggestions please.

Thank you in advance

I researched this over the last ten years, all I ever found was; know your hardware, go to the manufactures websites and update, KEEP A COPY for later!

Mixing and matching Drivers is most likely the root cause of ALL SYSTEM failures !

I noticed that I had similar issue on my hard drive too; re-installed the system on an old hard drive, downloaded the new updated drivers.

No problems now.

But getting back to the other hard drive malfunctioning shows that it is software driven, It can not be hardware as the new instal works ok... Do you have a program that runs from the CD to restore the Windows Operating Display DRIVERS.... "very important"

It will CURE the Black screen virus infecting systems globally

Please,

Note: I already had problems with my system, so I decided to back up some things quickly to at least get back to there; “you know the meaning?) :)

I love Tweaks 

First; where can I get the advanced sfc check commands; then I can at least run that on the desktop.

Some or all may be issues, or you may be aware of them already, however, here is what I did thus far

It seems I made some early mistakes; I am using a dual boot system...

(Registries restore options; if I have other REG backup files; can I use your service to restore them?) At least that will bring me back to a working state too. Call it the last chance saloon or whatever!

I only backed up one system, the C:\ “When it was D:\ that was important””:(“
Does your program detect how many operating systems? “Does it?” (Can you change your program to detect operating systems to back up for dummies like me? "And add the do it")
What if your system identified which boot system was the first entry? “Does it?”, then this would totally solve that issue seems!

Thanks in advance...

Note, when I ran the (dos_command), it didn't really work... I later found and noted that the BCD file was corrupt too and then I tried to restore using the BOOTREC from the install CD “but Failed”
Therefore, does your system copy the BCD files too! (Very important), I need restore them too along with the backup FILES for some reason.

Note: I found an old archive of the SAM files, reloaded them but now have other boot issues to solve! Tried doing the BOOTREC things, “still no luck at this point”

(((I read that we can copy the SAM setup file, although it only 64, we should be at least able to boot into windows)))

Note: Am running a program called Anti Avira Rescue System now; would you have a look and see if it is useful as a tool for corrupt startup repairs
Can do a Google to find the link for Avira AntiVir Rescue System: it checks the current registry entries from a boot environment; I find that useful when your system will not boot or when you repair the SAM files and it still will not saying the Registry is corrupt. (Having a clean boot and registry file is very important) I find the idea of using this tool useful to run before tweaking, how about you?

Note: It seems, people should run this Avira AntiVir Rescue System type of program like SFC and CHKDSK too before backing up there registries with tweaking.

There is another program called NERSOFT to help people restore the boot systems, I am not that desperate yet.

I like your program… your on target!

If you have some other ideas, would like to here them.

References: {rebuild your boot configuration data} Windows Vista Boot Manager is missing or corrupt

Whether you have corruption to the bootmgr file or it is missing, the following should help to resolve it.
1. Boot from the Windows DVD and run the Startup Repair several times.

2. If the above doesn't cure the problem, go back to the Repair Option and this time choose Command Prompt, then type these 4 commands (in all instances the capitals are for clarity only):
BOOTREC /FIXMBR and press Enter
BOOTREC /FIXBOOT and press Enter.
BOOTREC /SCANOS and press Enter.
BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD and press Enter.
3. If it’s still not successful or you receive ‘No operating system found’ or ‘Element not found’ messages, go back to the Command Prompt and make the partition active by typing these commands:
DISKPART and press Enter.
LIST DISK and press Enter.
SELECT DISK N and press Enter (N represents the disk you want).
LIST PARTITION and press Enter.
SELECT PARTITION N and press Enter (N represents the partition you want).
ACTIVE and press Enter.
EXIT and press Enter.
Even after making the partition active, you may need to rerun 1 above and perhaps 2 as well.

Frankly Speaking, any install disk performs the same tasks, "AUTOMATICALLY plus it will fix some things too, without me having to do anything"

Therefore, spending the HOURS it takes to make their program work, IT IS NOT HELPFUL in this scenario!
It is however usful for advanced technicians to help boot into unbootable systems with no install disk to look inside computer systems I give it a good rating for technicians and a poor rating for peope like me!

I like your tweaking programs… your on target!

using your dos_restore.cmd "which file does it restore"

backup_info.txt
log_backup.txt
log.vss.txt

for example, I can change the drive letter to the boot drive this way:

if I know, then I can edit the file to the drive on the working desktop

THANK YOU


816
Dear Shane, that page will not load;

can you post the detailed info here...

for your reference, youtube don't work everywhere :(

thanks in advance...

817
yes :(

does your program backup the BCD file too?

818
Sorry the late reply!

Quote: As for a lot of the problems you are having have you tried to create a new user profile, just to test, and see if the problem is still there? That would tell me if the problem is in the hkey local machine section or the hkey current user sections

Yes, A new user ID has the same problem.


819
I did the steps; LUCKY ME

Now, I found my system will not boot, not even in SAfE Mode;

If I install Tweaking on another desktop, can I remove my hard drive that will not boot and use tweaking to restore boot drive?

Please provide detailed info; it is urgent matter!

[email protected]

URGENT MATTER.

thanks in advance

Windows Registry keys corrupt;

ISSUE NUMBER ONE: SYSTEM BOOT FAILURE;

I am an old man, so some words typed in BOLD for my convenience.

HERES WHAT;

OK, Hypothetically? LETS MOVE THE BAD SYSTEM to another system that works on a USB DRIVE, "BUT LETS CREATE some commands that only run the REGEDIT as follows on the bad boot drive;

"CD\ windows bad system", then only run the registry in the bad system failure, or perhaps create another version of REGEDIT that will only OPEN THE BAD BOOT SYSTEM registry in the BAD SYSTEM,

THEN; WE COULD ACTUALLY RESTORE AN OLD WORKING REGISTRY!!!!!!!!!

this program would Before shutdown, RUN SFC / from the good boot drive to fix any files in the BAD BOOT DRIVE. Perform a CHKDSK

Then, move the drive back to the system.

Of course, we would need to be sure that we had the original install disk to be sure were even doing this work on the right system.

The world is waiting..................

Planet Earth Citizens Thank you in advance!

Issue: Control panel date and time link does not open

Issue: hovering over the date and time does not show the date or time calendar in the right hand corner

Issue: Right Click Personalize on desktop does not open the Personalize window

Issue; Personalize Missing from Control Panel

need help to repair theses functions: need to re-write the registry keys.

I own a legal copy of windows; people using your service should be warned that their systems will not start if they are using an illegal copy of windows :)

I do not have a virus, as I know!

Already ran Avast, MBAM to check for malware...

for EMSISOFT, it found some things; but its program fault is not mobing them immediately to the quaratine folder like microsofts scanner does, MSFT snanner does not find them, no need continue on that subject. hence when my system crashed during scanning, had to do over again.. this is quite a BIG WASTE OF TIME guys... especiallay when I was checking other hard drives, it ran all night too and manually had to reboot and start over... but what the point if it no MOVE THE FOUND THINGS?

I did an old registry backup but can not use the old registry as there are too many conflicts... besides, these are only windows issues and just Right for your programming qualities :)

Thank you for your assistance in advance...
