shaft121 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Hi, I have run CCleaner and the registry key value backups have been saved as a .txt file (Notepad). I am currently on Windows XP with SP2. When I rightclick on the registry backup .txt file, I do not receive the option to 'merge', thus restoring the backup. Can anybody tell me how I can get round this to restore my backup? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted February 27, 2006 Moderators Share Posted February 27, 2006 Something is screwy on your system if it's saving the backup with the .txt extension when they should be the .reg extension. That is if you're talking about what the Issues scanner saves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krit86lr Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Yes that is what I was talking about. Just curious, but what version of CCleaner are you using? Andavari was right, something is screwy.

shaft121 Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 I downloaded it about 3 days ago from the official site so I assume it is the latest version.

krit86lr Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Downloaded Version 1.27.260. It was the standard build. And I am using the following Spyware programs. Microsoft Anti-Spyware Spyware Guard AVG Free Edition Uninstall CCleaner. Reboot. Then reinstall CCleaner. Choose to download either the Basic Build, or the Slim Build. The Basic Build supports multiple languages, and the Slim only supports english. Reboot after installing. Now run CCleaner, and fix Issues. If the problem continues follow these instructions. To work around this problem, turn off SMB signing on the server: 1. Start Registry Editor. 2. Locate, and then click the enablesecuritysignature value under the following key in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Lanmanserver\Parameters 3. On the Edit menu, click Modify. 4. In the Value data: box, type 0, and then click OK. 5. Quit Registry Editor. 6. Restart the computer. If these instructions are not clear, ask for clarification before continuing. I hope this works!

krit86lr Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 The only thing is the I'm not on a server. I'm on my personal PC. Can you go into your event viewer, and get the Event ID and Error Source and the Message? Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer click on Applications - you will see errors and warnings (double click on them for information) click on System - you will see errors and warnings (double click on them for information) This will narrow down the source of your problem as well as the solution.

shaft121 Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\D during a paging operation. That is what the error reports say in my system error section. In the application errors sssection, I only have two, and they are to do with a trialware version of an MP3/WMA convertor I downloaded ages ago and used twice tonight, and those errors always occur when I try to close the program or when it finishes a conversion.

Orpheus Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 uh ..okay. so is it ok for the backup to appear as a .txt (as mine does also) and open it w/ reg edit if it needs to be restored. or is there an inherent problem with it appearing as a .txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should save as a .reg file. When you save the backup can you change the file type/file extension?
