registry problems
 

I have a toshiba satellite A70 with windows XP profesional at home. I also
have one at the office connected to a network. I copied the registry of that
computer (office) on a DVD, then I opened that registry at my computer at
home. Now my home computer is acting very strange. How can I recuperate my
original registry at my home computer?

Re: registry problems
 

You may be able to do a system restore from before you messed it up. There
are other more difficult measures that you can check out in the
Knowledgebase.

Re: registry problems
 

I´ll be honest. I was getting fed up with the casino pop ups, the Win anti
Virus pop ups, and even a porn pop up(i have a cable modem connection, not a
dial up). I ran spybot search and destroy and every time it came up with a
Magic Control.Agent at a registry location. It never could clear it up. So I
did this desperate measure!

I can certainly relate, i spent over a week getting one of those situations
fixed on my wifes machine. If you don't have a recovery file from before
the program took over, sometimes a fresh start is the best approach.

Re: registry problems
 

Hello ,
Your best bet is going to be to attempt to follow this article to copy back
the registry files:
307545 How to recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP
from starting
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;307545

System Restore would be doubtful. Some of the restore points information
is stored in the registry, so the restore points that are presented are the
restore points that would be available on the Office machine, not the
Restore points that are on the home machine.

Plus which registry files did you replace? All of them or just one or two?

Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Re: registry problems
 

As John says, in situations such as this, a clean install is the only
resort, even Microsoft recommends it as the best way to remove malware from
the system.

Re: registry problems
 

The article that Darryl recommends is the one I was referring to in my
original post about the knowledge base. I have used it and it worked for my
purpose. It sure is a lot easier to do if you are dual booting and can work
from the other system. Hope you have good luck. Incidentally I had the
following error I need to fix at the time Stop: c0000218 {Registry File
Failure} The registry cannot load the hive (file):
\SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE or its log or alternate
