ok back up and running . the problem seem to be while the program was in renewing file permissions , AVG anvitvirus saw that as threat , locked up my regedit . i had tic marked to auto reboot the machine when finished . once the reboot went, my regedit was in custody, lol . absolutely nothing worked . 6 hours later i tried combofix as a fluke to see if that would reset any permissions .had to use right click "start , not open "
i gave me 2 back , one being explorer , so i could now navigate around. from there i had to "right click , "not open ,but start " worked on the file. then i d/l avg again . "run not save : once installed i could open avg and unlock my regedit.exe. after reboot all seem fine again . the tweak toll says to off any antivirus , and i could 'almost 'swear i had turn it off .
i had run the tool b4 w/ the avg still on , and not any problem . dunno why this time it reacted that way . anyhow that is what i found out

Odd AVG would block regedit.exe all because the permissions on that file where changed. But of course I have read reports of AVG crashing machines as well lol
I myself use the free version of Avast. Just remember that they are always updating and changing their virus defs. So where they may not block something 1 time they will block it as a false positive at another time.
From running a computer repair business for over 10 years now I have seen the Antivirus cause more problems then it actually protects lol
Good to hear you got it back up and running.
