I'll always come back here for help so far this is the only community that has seemed to care. And alan, I read your posts but they are very far advanced for my liking. If only i could understand as I'm sure they make sense -bryan

I read everybody's posts and choose carefully which ones to refer to. No posts go unnoticed. I am also adrift in a sea of technology haha. Hmmm, I may have to try that at some point even though it seems somewhat confusing. Will refer back to this thread. Cool cool laptops are awesome i should have invested in one instead of a pc. I want to uninstall things but my brain won't let me right now. When i do choose to though i will do it slow one at a time most likely. You're right i have no real-time antivirus protection running right now. Maybe i will activate norton.. cough. I don't download dangerous programs, i don't use p2p programs, i don't go to nasty websites, so i feel safe for now. I don't need more i am not running huge programs this computer is still lightning fast. I'm going to when i feel up for it or ill have to use the uninstall tool if i activate it. Thank you for those choices. Those are free correct? So many quotes I'm adrift in a sea of quotes :lol:

Kroozer does seem correct. It does seem like if it's not activated it would be correctly removed along with all of the leftover dump. I'll just remove it that way when i feel it's necessary. Weird note though, under virus protection it says windows defender, and norton are both turned on. How is norton turned on if i never turned it on not a big deal really just wondering.

I'm in no hurry =) Doesn't say the version, anywhere on my computer for that matter.

I cannot find my norton version because it is not even up and running yet. I do not want to click activate now

Interesting looks legit since it is on nortons website. Where exactly is the download link or must i first select which product i am using. Thanks doll

Why yes, yes it does feel good to start clean. Believe it or not i actually run to google first before i ever come out of my way to a forum to do some posting. Last time i uninstalled those programs i used ccleaners uninstall tool to remove them which was probably not the best idea. I'll definitely be leaving things alone haha it's nightmarish to even think about pc problems. I DESPISE computer troubles although it's very interesting. Yeah i think this thing has norton 60 day trial or some crap for now I'm skipping it. I do plan on getting some freeware and removing norton but not yet. (Wants to enjoy the computer again error free) hahahaha Using this forum should help me with my problems nice group of people here unlike some others i have visited where as i got no help what-so-ever. Thank you all. Bryan

You're correct Start > all programs > eMachines > eMachines Recovery management

Hello Dennis (or so i think) I actually called emachines myself and they managed to guide me through. My computer is now back to factory state with most windows updates installed and THIS TIME i will NOT uninstall anything as bad as i may want to. I didn't need a disk i just had to find the certain recovery console which was located under emachines in all programs. So as a lesson.. i will not be using any registry cleaners in the future unless i learn every little thing about it. Just wondering if i should still download ccleaner again ;D it stopped doing its job for some reason before i did this factory reset so that's basically the only thing keeping me from getting it again.

Everything was fine before i ever uninstalled microsoft office, microsoft works, and adobe reader... seriously i would love to restore my computer back i can easily put all my pictures on a flash stick thats all i even want to keep. basically since i cleaned the registry things have been looking bad guys! My taskbar highlights when i click on it, certain programs open up pre-minimized without my consent, things are becoming more slow as time goes by, sites take awhile to load, just so many problems now. I even got a few errors (graphic device has stopped working but has recovered) or something along those lines, that happened twice yesterday when i restarted computer. If ANYONE has any ideas of how i can go back to before this happened or restore in any way please let me know. I do not have a factory disk because the freaking machine asks me for 3 blank dvd's which is honestly a load of crap to me. This computer came with windows 7 home premium 64-bit already pre-loaded or whatever. Thanks. Edit** Not to mention, CCleaner doesn't even work correctly anymore. Ccleaner finds nothing when i analyze where as windows disk cleanup finds 28 MB. definitely need to restore somehow. Was just throwing that issue out there too.

Well here is the thing i remove the missing DLL entries and re-scan and they show back up? Just woke my pc up out of sleep mode things still seem to be running well. So glad i didn't wreck the registry.

Yeahhh I'm only going to use that if i start freaking myself out or something :P I did a system restore once on here and i felt immediately like it was the wrong choice. Sighhh computer troubles. Things seem to be running pretty smooth right now though other than snappy feeling menus and snappy minimize / maximize on most windows. I'm only getting 15 or so entries on the ccleaner registry cleaner instead of 150

I didn't think it would fix the problems exactly, i just wanted to use it because i was alarmed at all the entries i was getting. I actually uninstalled the programs using the ccleaner uninstaller, and yes i rebooted afterwards. This was a few weeks ago. i still have the restore point before i deleted anything but I'm not sure if going back would actually do anything. And i have tried that but what exactly does it do? I have tinkered with this before but never noticed a difference in anything.

Ive been going through these steps and i am now at checking shared dll's. I deleted those keys but more came back when i rescanned just that section? I have been making sure to backup through each section. All i have left to do is shared dlls, active x and class issues, and tyle libraries. No problems so far but i am a little weary to continue until i get more clearance. Here is the active x section, oops i mean dlls haha

Hello, =) I have decided i want to use the registry cleaner part of ccleaner. I have never tried this before as i am not sure of how to exactly back up beforehand. I read the instructions all over the site but i am still confused. Analyzed to find an alarming amount of keys with problems. Can someone help guide me through step by step? Is it okay to post screenshots of each analyzed section so i can have an opinion of whether or not to fix certain problems? Not to mention recently my pc has been acting weird. menus stay highlighted things seem as if they stick. My connection is fast as can be but i am worried things are wrong i uninstalled adobe reader and microsoft works and microsoft office awhile ago (came with the computer) and since then things have been going downhill. This computer is about 3 months old so I'm not sure why.
