Default Registry

I believe I have Registry problems, and my little knowledge makes me dangerous.
When I add programs to the system I sometime feel that the change is not being add to the registry. For one I get a notice for a Windows update "Cumulative Security Update foe Outlook Express 6 Service Pack 1(KB837009) download size: 1.9 MB, 10 minutes" seems to be not add to the system registry because after a reboot there message asking me to download a install the fix again. When I do the Microsoft download find it on my machine and install it again bypassing the 10 minutes download.

I get the following message when rebooting and for lack of knowledge do not understand what it is trying to tell me.

Cleaning and Compacting the Registry
Cannot import C:\Windows\NewReg.Reg:Error opening the file
The previous Registry has been restored

Trying to run SCANREG/W before a reboot does not help.
Another example is going to RUN and running MSCONFIG
If I use Selective startup and clear all check boxes so I will have no programs running but still can use optical drives and screen size, vice using safe mode. When I do the reboot I find all my startup program are running again or in other words Selective startup did not work.

Your symptoms are a possible indication of a spyware infestation.

Go to MVP Jim Eshelman's free online spyware test page at
http://aumha.org/a/noads.htm and see what that says.

To clean up the system use Jim's Quick Fix procedure at
http://www.aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm


Good luck

That means that you have somehow managed to install
the critical updates out-of-sequence.

One way to solve this would be to get a dated list of the criticals,
uninstall those that the system will let you uninstall,
and then re-install them in the proper sequence.

I tried checking but the record is so long and confusing and I do not see
how one uninstalls a critical update. Thanks

Start Internet Explorer, then click "Tools", "Internet Options" and in =
the "Temporary Internet files"
box, select "Delete files". Then restart the computer. This should =
allow a fresh copy of the
update to be downloaded.

Start = Settings = Control Panel
Add/Remove Programs

Double-click the listed Critical Update
that you want to remove
or
click it to highlight it and then click the Add/Remove button

If it isn't listed, it isn't removable in this manner.
