Problems with registry when loading programs

I need help!!!

I can't load almost any program on my system as I get registry errors and the program, be it downloaded or from a CD Rom, the program load stops, gives me the error code and then uninstals.

Here is my System:

Intel processor 1.7 GHz
250 MB Ram
80 G HD

Installed software:

Win XP Home with SP2
Office Pro 2002
Folder Security Personal v 4.0
Camedia Master 2.0
CAD Standard
3D Cal32
Adobe 6.0 Professional
Norton Internet Security 2008
Intel application Accelerator

I would like to install IE7 and some other software but when I attempt, I get a message that there are Registry problems in CLSID. Going to the MS help site and try their fixes, none works. I am logged on as an Administrator with full privileges and it tells me that I can write to the registry.

Registry cleaners/repair don't work and I am tired of paying for stuff that don't work.

The only thing I have not tried was to attempt an install in the Safe Mode with the Norton product disabled. I do not want to do a reinstall of windows and all the software. This problem seemed to start when I installed the Norton 2008 software, which was the last piece of software installed after setting up the system.

Windows updates and Norton updates install good. I have downloaded IE7 and attempted to install and it stops with an error and then uninstalls. Try all the MS help info and nothing works.

I am starting to get a little PO'ed as I would like to install some other MS products but can't. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I will take e-mails or anything to resolve this problem.

Thanks,
Trixiet

Re: Problems with registry when loading programs

hello ,


for one thing you do not have enough memory/ram !! you need to have at least 512 with norton installed !! your system is starving for memory/ram

now this is what i would like you to do

this is just for starters

now what i need to do is go to your (device manager)

now once there you will want to select from the toolbar of the window(veiw) then a drop down menu / from it you will select (show all hidden devices)

now if you see any (red or yellow) quotation marks , make a note of what they

now go to the (event veiwer) this is thru the (administrator tools) in the control panel
here you will find 3 to 4 subcatagories

you will want to check each of them for this is where windows keeps track of all errors
now you will want to make notes of the errors that have been recorded ( you do not have to make notes of double entries just of the dates of their happenings & how many there is)
you will get more information on the errors if you (right) click them / then select properties

-------------------------------------
also
-------------------------------------

do you have a Windows Xp cd, not the restore cd's that come with some systems, the cd will have the Windows logo & 3D hollowgram/image on it

if you do not maybe you can barrow one from a friend/family member/co-worker as long as it is the same version that is on your system

if you have (Windows XP Home Ed. sp2 ) then the cd will have to be that / if you have a cd with (Windows XP Home Ed. )you will have to slipstream (SP2 ) onto a disk that you create

this also applies to (Windows XP Professsional )

http://www.helpwithwindows.com/Windo...p2-bootcd.html

now if you do have the Windows XP cd with sp2 please follow these steps

--------------------------------------------

performing a (sfc) system file checker

It is a scan that checks the core files & dlls of the (os) operating system and replaces them if they are corrupt or missing with the correct original version

start

#1 then select (run) , then press enter
a window will open
#2 type in ( cmd ) then press enter
another window will open
#3 type in ( sfc )then press enter
another window will open
#4 type in (sfc /purgecache) then enter / your pc will work like crazy / this helps in rebuiding the cache file (notice the space between (sfc & /)
#5 type in (sfc /scannow ) then press enter ( notice the space between the (sfc & / )

now a scan will start , have your (Windows XP software disk ready ) your pc may ask for this disc when it starts or during the scan( so you must sit with the pc while this scan functions ) , if it does then incert the cd into one of your cd/rom/player's , your pc will then reconnize it and continue , you will then have to minimize the splash screen for the cd to see the scan , when the scan is finished you will need to close the cd and all open windows , then remove the cd

you will then need to do a ( Disk Cleanup ) , then empty the caches & temp files thru the (Internet Options) , then do a defrag

restart your pc

then do a defrag again after the reboot

-----------------------------------------------
also
-----------------------------------------------

now this is the process

a (sfc) is a windows scanner that is directed at the core system files & dll's

it scans only these files & dll's to see if they have been corrupted or replaced by (maleware/spyware/trojans/ viruses/ ect..that are designed to mask themselves as part of the operating system and cause havic or send information/data to it maker /originator

now i do know that during this process that these 2 patches/hotfix's will be knocked out

KB902400 & KB914440

to wich can be easily reinstalled by downloading them from the download center at microsoft / since microsoft is always creating patches & fix's for the software to solve issues they placemant & page that they are on will change / when downloading them you can save them for fucture use and reinstalling / just make a file and put them into it / one will ask to have the system rebooted ( yes ) the other simply is installed

i use (Belarc Advisor)to wich will show you all your installed patchs & fix's and if they are intack & will give you a direct link to microsft to either give you info on the patch/fix or a link to reinstall the patch/fix

you can download it here

http://www.majorgeeks.com/Belarc_Advisor_d1385.html

now with the removal of infections i find it to be best to do a (sfc) for from the process of removal some files/ dlls can be damage and need to be replaced

now also when you remove infections it can also cause added programs to act weirdly or to stop fuctioning all together to wich they may need to be repaired or reinstalled

then get back to us

Mike
