Tweaking.com Support & Help / Windows Repair - Register System Files

« on: June 07, 2013, 12:05:33 pm »

I just ran Register System Files and noticed that the first part is run under the user account. Later a second part runs under the System account. Is this normal? I should think you would want all of the system files to be registered while running under the System account.

My PC runs Windows XP SP3.

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Windows Repair All In One Reset Registry Permissions Crash Problem

« on: March 04, 2013, 02:03:58 pm »

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.

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Windows Repair 1.94 Do Repairs descriptions problem

« on: January 04, 2013, 03:44:16 am »

 I downloaded Windows Repair (All In One) 1.9.4 Portable version. I think I may have found a bug in the Do Repairs multiple choice checkbox screen.

When I highlighted one of the names to see the description of what it does it displayed as expected. Then I highlighted a different choice but the description for the previous one remained in the display. I tried several others but it always showed the first one I highlighted.
