hello
my first topic here
yay
anyways
ive been having these nasty registry problems , they started last week
i would turn on the pc , and most of the times i would get a “Windows has encountered an error trying to access the registry , press ok to restart and fix it”
k so i fix the problem , fine.
but…i turn it on the next day and the same thing!
this time after windows fixed the problem , i was browsing on the net downloading some songs , i goto the Run bar in the start menu and type scanregw
and it gives me that registry error again…
also i tried to install a game , after i finished the installation , i typed out that command and i got the error
after i restart the PC , i have to install the game again because it wasnt saved in the registry
i did a virus scan and a trojan cleaner with maybe 4 programs , and 2 good online ones , i did a thorough scan disk and a defrag on all drives
ive also noticed it happens maybe after half an hour of surfing (or doing anything) , it seems to be like a set period , if i do a scanregw , no problems , but after a while , ill get the error , if i restart the pc after that half an hour , i get the error
(im not sure after how long this happens , rough estimate)
why is this happening? WAHHHHHHHHHHH
i use win98 , second edition me thinks
and a couple of days before that i had an Install Shield Error , but it disappeared after a restart , could that have done anything?
i cant install anything if that registry thingie is going to keep getting errors!
if this isnt clear , its because im a pc newb , but ill try to make things as clear as possible
help!!!
PS i never edited or touched the registry , or used a registry cleaner before
