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. Billy |

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. |

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. Ben "Billy E. Karlinsey" wrote in message = ...

Thanks 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. |
