There definitely seems to be things in the registry that are no longer there - like the smaller toolbar. Thunderbird is no longer working and remains a hollow icon with an error message. Whenever I open my browser, Mozilla, it never remembered that I had chosen it as my default. The start menu will not save any recently used applications/programs. I can check the box, but nothing happens. The ability to use only SMALL icons is impossible to apply.
I had to go online and learn how to do it manually in the registry - this is a far stretch for me since I'm pretty much utilitarian with computers. Even more disappointing is the ability to change settings are impossible.Įxample: I could no longer shrink the toolbar. In that regard aside from my system being totally strange to me, I'm noticing that all my user settings have all disappeared. Ironically my personal files all were intact that I can see.still too early. I had to repair twice to get it to eventually reboot. Succesfully, I did end up rebooting the HDD with two fault errors shown during the repair. I use it to mirror on a SSD, which has its problems of its own, but I used the SSD os to create a repair disc. Some background: I'm trying to restore (fully) my win7pro on my HDD. This is a continuation of another thread after having trouble rebooting during a restore.
You will need to do a phone activation.Įdit: You can use the AutoRuns and the drive attached to another computer to look for any Wondershare drivers or services and disable or remove them.Įdited by JohnC_21, 25 April 2016 - 04:30 PM. This should get you your Windows 7 key if you do not have it.
Browse to the SOFTWARE hive on the USB key then okay. In Produkey select FIle > Select Source and check the button next to Load the product keys from external Software Registry Hives. It will open and show you the keys on the computer you are running Produkey form but you want the key from the SOFTWARE hive on the USB key. Once you have the Software Hive copied attach the flash drive to a working computer. If you decide to use Fatdog post back as copying files is a little different than Windows.Įdit: Software hive is located in C:\Windows\System32\config For a live linux disk I recommend Fatdog64. This will also let you recover any data on the drive to an external disk. You will need to either attach the drive to another computer to copy the hive or use a live OS disk like Hirens or linux to copy it. You can pull your key offline if the OS is an OEM copy of Windows 7 by copying the SOFTWARE registry hive to a flash drive. This should help if you need to reinstall and will also let do do a repair. You can create a System Repair Disk on any Windows 7 computer with the same version OS. Moved from Crashes/BSODs to Win 7 - Hamluis. Can I do this by locating the files reg files by date? I'm also wondering if I have to hunt down all the ancillary non registry files to completely get rid of this and restore my ability TO restore.Īm I chasing my tail? Thanks for reading.Įdited by hamluis, 27 April 2016 - 08:48 AM. I'm thinking once(if) I get HDD up have to manually remove all wonder share files from the registry and give it another go. My system is pretty empty and uncluttered. I'm pretty cautious and keep my sessions basic as possible. Wish this this were a case of something else being the root cause, but I backtracked in my mind where I could've caused this. It only leaves the problem with the remnants of filmora still being there, preventing a system restore.
I'm going to try to create a new backup disc from the mirror and use it to repair win7pro on the original HDD. I did nothing jazzy to cause this and it isn't coincidence that both drives are screwed on a system restore to a point before the Filmora install. No disc either and a working mirror on SSD that is tainted with the same remnants that killed my Win7 OS on my HDD. On reboot windows stops booting and tells somethings wrong and I need to insert the repair disc.I'm fuked.
I went to earliest restore point which was the day of the Filmora install coincidentally? I don't remember honestly deleting all restore points before that proceeded to sys.restore then the worst happened. So I reinstalled my HDD that I used to mirror to my SSD thinking this can't be happening. It said unable to extract a certain file.but I had uninstalled Filmora, why would it be saying this? Thought it was a reg error maybe with CC cleaner.
Pro let arose when I went for a routine system restore on my new SSD. I proceeded and noticed it left some files which is normal, a lot of software does that. First off I have nothing against the software mnf, I just wanted to uninstall Filmora demo.
