I would think that a registry restore just reinstates the values held in the backup, so you shouldn't need to remove any keys. I'm not too sure about removing any more registry entry at the moment. However some more experienced registry-tweaker might know more. You certainly get the prize for persistence, Harry.
Hope I understood you. Is this what you mean? (ignore the language)
Harry
You have correctly found the events of interest.
The extreme left of your picture shows you selected "Toepassing";
I guess that corresponds to "Application".
Where you have 6 different event logs to choose from, I have only 4.
My 4 logs are, from top to bottom :-
Application
Security
System
Internet Explorer
Application has :-
"Very interesting" events marked with a Red Error (e.g. your FOUT); and possibly
"Very significant" events marked with a Yellow Warning.
Security has never yet shown me anything significant.
System is crucial, with Red Error and Yellow Warning when things go wrong.
You should always start at "System" and not at "Application".
Internet Explorer is always empty - perhaps because I always use Firefox instead of I.E.
When the O.S. (Operating System) has problems, then
System is where you get the best clues upon what went wrong with O.S.
Application will show you things that went wrong with user applications,
and many of these events are consequences of the O.S. problems, and are not necessarily due to defects in the application.
I suggest you look for Red Errors and Yellow Warnings in the various logs.
Also note the exact time of any such Red or Yellow event,
and then inspect all the other logs for ANY event at or preceding the time just noted - it may give a clue upon what led up to the error.
If you select an event (e.g. FOUT) then right click it, you can select "Properties";
this gives a small window with very useful information
and on the right hand side are Up and Down buttons - the next button down shows 2 overlapping pages, and clicking that will select all the information (including lots of mysterious hexadecimal numbers) and copy it into your clip board, just paste the clipboard into Notepad and you can easily include it when you next post to this forum.
Finally, I notice that in post 10 on Nov 22 2008, 01:03 PM
all the errors refer to
C:\Docume~\Harry\Locals~1\Temp\*.txt
I think this is one of the first regions that CCleaner will purge.
Question - if I.E. fails because it depends upon a temporary file, should it be re-installed ?
Which I suspect means re-installing Windows - life is so much better with Firefox !!!
Is it possible that I.E. (or its Windows host) was actually doing something with this temporary file when CCleaner came along and pulled the rug out from under its feet ?

@ Alan B
Wow! what a List! And you understand Dutch!
I will Print it and do my best to do it as you described.
Hope to Inform you with good News after it all.
When I have the 'Systeem" clicked, it only shows today's faults and warnings 2,477 lines!
In 'Toepassing' there are also items of the IE7->IE8->IE7 period.
Hi Alan,
Got a headache from it
Note: "Vastgelopen toepassing" is "stuck in/on? Application"
Dates are reversed. I checked all those Red Markings. When they are the same as I already copied, I did not do it again.

Hi Harry07,
In reviewing the log for Alan it appears that things have become mixed between IE7 and IE8.
Your best bet may be re-installing IE7. If you do, be sure to follow the instructions to the letter and please Reboot when they say as soon as they say. "Do not do any cleaning of anything" for a couple of days.
Good luck,
davey
P.S. After reviewing your log again I may be misled by some of the translation not actually relating to Hex listing.
Alan's advise is valuable.
You may still consider re-installing.
By the way, what are your system specs, OS, etc ?

The image shows a fresh error every second, suggesting you have one sick puppy there !!!
I guess it took less than one hour to fill the 512 KByte normally allocated for each log.
I like the dates "reversed".
I immediately see at the top the last thing that happened,
and if I want to know why I can scroll down to see what led up to it.
If you want to un-reverse, just click at the column heading "Datum".
You can sort the table on any column.
e.g. if you click on "Tijd" it is all sorted in time (with dates scrambled).
If you sort on "Geeb..." then all event numbers appear in a sequence,
and you only have to look at the TOP of the list to see events less than 7001,
and then at the bottom of the list to see numbers greater than 7001.
This SHOULD save your eyesight - you no longer have to scrutinise every line to find anything other than "7001",
BUT Microsoft STUPIDLY did not reserve 3 blocks of contiguous numbers for Information/Warning/Error,
so some Error numbers will actually appear between Information numbers,
therefore you would need a rapid scroll through the log to see if any other Red flags appear between Information or Warning events.
(Though I suspect you only have one event 6006, and 2837 off events 7001).
If you select one "7001" error and right click and choose properties, it will show a description followed by
"For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp."
If you click on that link, it should take you to relevant Knowledge Base information.
When my daughter's IPOD SHUFFLE is plugged into a USB Port,
it causes chaos on all the other ports,
and my External USB connected Hard Drive is immediately permanently busy and unavailable,
with no recovery other than to power right down and restart the system,
and a subsequent chkdsk found 3 errors on each of 1299 files
Nice one Apple - IPOD is their stealth weapon against Windows
So, I learnt to disconnect the hard drive before letting the IPOD any where near,
and then IPOD caused this system error

I did not click on the offered link,
instead I clicked on the "copy text" button,
and then pasted into this post as above.
If you do the same with one of your error 7001 events, some-one may have further advice for you

I started the above post before Davey posted his response, and my post is NOT a contradiction of Davey.
My information should allow you to get maximum information out of the event log.
Davey's information should get your computer mended.
Incidentally, is I.E.8 out of Beta release yet !!!
Regards
Alan
Thanks Alan & Davey.
I've printed it and try to understand it all and work it out.
I like Event Log Explorer?
http://www.eventlogxp.comEvent Log Explorer allows you to view the description of each event without any additional mouse click - all desciptions are displayed in the Event Description box of log window, or even directly in the event list.
Friendly and powerful user interface lets you select between two styles: Multi-document or tabbed-document interface.
Event Log Explorer provides powerful event search and filtering engine. You can easily filter events in the list by any criteria. Every filter can be saved into file - this saves your time when you want to re-apply the filter in future.
Unlike standard Windows Event Viewer, Event Log Explorer can print event logs or even separate events. You can also export your event logs to other formats. At the time, Event Log Explorer supports export to HTML, Microsoft Excel and tab-separated text files.
IE8 is still in beta and probably will not be released until 2nd quarter 2009.
In 'System' there is only Nov. the 23rd Listed.
I only see (with Red Warning): 7000 (2x), 7026 (2x) the rest is 7001.
With Yellow warning: 260 (2x) for the PlugPlayManager.
Am I working in the right direction?
Here's the 7001 Information:
I try to translate it all.
?The connection management for RAS-Service is depending of the Telephony-Service, who because of the following fault couldn?t be started. Cannot start the Service because it is switched off or because there are no devices connected with it?
Clicking the Link I get (see attached).
Hope you understand.

I thought that was the case;
but I never bothered to Google because I tend to view all Microsoft products as still only fit to be called Beta !!!
Any officially Beta product is likely to fail.
Most software, Beta or otherwise, can fail.
CCleaner could damage stupid software that depends upon the continued existence of stuff it places in %TEMP% etc.,
but is unlikely to damage anything it knows.
and is unlikely to damage what it does not know,
BUT
If CCleaner removes junk that I.E.7. dumps all over the place,
it will probably purge those same junk locations if I.E.8. BETA puts stuff there,
and if I.E.8 BETA is now placing essential data or executables in those junk locations,
then CCleaner (and ANY other temporary / junk cleaner) will destroy it.
I suspect that could be the cause of your problem,
and CCleaner (and all other junk cleaners) will damage I.E.8 until such time as :-
Microsoft makes I.E.8. compatible with I.E.7. (wait for Service Pack 4 !!!) or,
CCleaner is updated to distinguish between I.E.7 and I.E.8.
Moral of this story :-
Don't use BETA releases;
If you can't resist a BETA package - do uncheck any CCleaner option that was good for the "ALPHA" version.
Suggestion - Follow Davey's advice - go back to I.E.7.

Alan

I Googled for "RAS-Service" and got 13,100 hits.
Top of the list was http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/windows/ntse...ide/ntsras.html
Most interesting was a security warning at
http://www.heise-online.co.uk/security/Mic...ce--/news/74818
"RAS-Service" is outside my experience, but others here may be able to advise.

Thanks Allan! I will check those Links
I changed the setting of RAS to 'Automatic' and will reboot in a moment, @ all you think it's safe to do?
Hi Harry07,.....By the way, what are your system specs, OS, etc ?
Ehm, where do I find them?
Just thought of something.
I have downloaded (around the Problem Date) a dll file on my Computer (to the Desktop) that was for my wife's Computer. But it did not work on hers. Therefore I deleted it.
But, could that have been of influence for todays Problems?

Hi Harry07,
You have done exceptionally well,Harry, for a very inexperienced user and trying to get help in a foreign language.
You have done so well I did not realize that you are a relative inexperienced PC user.
I apologize for that. I always try to keep the viewpoint of a "newbie" user and I forgot all about it with you.
I was misled by one of your translations for the logs. That it why I thought some of the programs were mixed up between IE7 and IE8.
What I mean by system specifications can found at the top of your CCleaner window in what is called the Banner area.
I looked but I could not find any mention in your posts as to what OS you are using WinXP ? Vista ?
I use Windows XP Professional edition Service Pack 3. (This is WinXP Pro SP3)
Do you use other browsers like Firefox on your PC ?
How have you been communicating with us ?

Today I downloaded IE7 (again) en after that I tried if it would work, no
I also did the 'search and repair' option on my C-disc. Didn't give a better result to.
What do you suggest? Shall I perform a system restore with Date 2-3 days before the Problems started? Or better not?
