hotvoltage Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 I think it was a corrupted registry. Yea the system restore was blank. Thanks for offering to help but I'm afraid I couldn't have done a manual restore cause I don't have the original copy of windows xp. My laptop was shipped with recovery disks instead I'll never buy a pc without the original windows disk, too many disadvantages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjLizard Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Is there an i386 folder on your hard drive somewhere?

Even though everything is good now I would like to be able to repair the registry if I ever had to do it again. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasha Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Actually, after looking at everything the programme does, it unregisters DLLs, then changes the registry, and then reregisters the DLLs. Were you to have a hardware failure while the DLLs are unregistered, you'd be lucky if the WINDOWS even boots up, because some of those DLLs are essential to WINDOWS. So yeah, the programme didn't actually mess up your hard drive, it just made it very vulnerable while it was fixing it, and you just so happened to have a crash in the meanwhile.
