Vista - Repair VISTA registry

04-15-2008

I recently used a VISTA compatible utility (TWEAK VI) to sort and clean my
registry. I then added several new applications, including Office 2007. My
system has now become very unstable and often freezes, does a blue screen
data dump, or just shuts down with no explanation. I am to far removed from
the registry clean to reach a restore point for it, so I am hoping there is
a repair option on the VISTA install disk, like the XP disk has. So far the
only option I find is to reinstall the whole program. Any suggestions on
repair options are greatly appreciated. Still looking.

As you now know, never use a registry cleaner.

Start>Programs>Accessories>Run> sfc /scannow

Might save you doing a repair install.

Restore your registry from the backup you made before you "cleaned" it. You
did make a backup first, right?

For future reference:

DO NOT use registry cleaners! See this:
