Explain the difference between the regedit and scanreg utility?
Regedit is utility from Microsoft for editing the registry. When you start your computer successfully, the Windows Registry Checker tool. (Scanreg.exe) creates a backup of system files and registry configuration information (including user account information, protocol bindings, software program settings, and user preferences) once daily. Files that Windows Registry Checker backs up include System.dat, User.dat, System.ini, and Win.ini. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/183887

How do you get rid of Trojan Horse Startpage 5 BD when AVG can't remove it?
hi mike, we have had a few of these types that nothing can get rid of completely and i have found that once i have exhausted my anti virus/Trojan and adware removers the only way to get rid of this is to backdate your PC by one or two days or even just to the morning of the day it arrived on your PC. if you are windows you should have made a setup/diagnostic backup disc when you loaded up first time. just pop that into your floppy drive let it load itself, go into the help section (normally option1) as soon as you get the help section close it (normally keys alt f + x together) but instructions are in the help section. it will then continue to load itself. you will then be faced with a page which will firstly tell you how to restart your PC from dos..ignore this allow the page to fully load and the last line will be A:\ on this line type scanreg/restore and hit enter you will then be given approximately 4 dates to choose from choose a date then when promted hit restart PC and remove floppy at same time. you will then have restored your PC to your chosen date and hopefully before this Trojan arrived if not repeat using an earlier date. i have just had statpage 16bd (17/2/05) and it requires this removal method also. i know this sounds fiddly and long winded but it only takes about 5 mins. good luck I had Startpage 16BD not 5BD. I didn't need to restore the system to a previous point in time as Elaine suggests, but instead worked systematically thru the tips posted here: http://forum.grisoft.cz/freeforum/read.php?4,4346 In particular, I uninstalled a program called Search Analyst (or something similar - I don't quite remember!) and that seemed to do it. Hope you have the same good luck.
Why would your computer not boot up?
if you're using Windows, just insert a recovery disc and a lot of time it will fix it, if that doesn't do it , clean install, sometimes the hdd could have a problem not related to windows at all but sometimes they will just not read right and need to be reformatted.When Windows fails to boot it is normally caused by a user installing a program or device and it has caused a conflict with one or more other programs. This will no doubt give you plenty of heartache if you're not certain which program caused Windows to not boot up.If you recently installed a program or application and know where it was installed,you may be in much better shape as for as correcting the error. Here are common ways to correct the problem of your computer not completely booting up or not booting up at all.If your computer will not boot-up at all,hopefully you have made a good emergency boot disk. You can always make a windows startup disk by creating one from another computer running Windows 98 or Me. Perform the following if your computer won't Boot-Up At All.FIRST: Put your boot floppy disk in the floppy drive and turn on the PC.On some computers, you may have to access the bios and select the Boot priority to your A: drive. Save any changes and select "Start Computer without CDROM support" and press Enter. Once you are at the A prompt,type dir c: and press enter.If your programs and other files are present,try restoring your system Registry by following the steps below.This may repair Windows,the Config. Sys and autoexec.bat files to where the PC may boot up normally. When the files are present, it's a good indication of a good hard drive.SECOND: To correct the problem of your computer not booting up,type in "fdisk /mbr" and press Enter to restore your master boot record.Type "Scandisk C:" to check the hard drive for errors that have occurred. You can also type "Sys C:" to hopefully restore files needed to boot up your computer.THIRD: If the above procedures fail to repair your computer,you can repeat the first part of step one above and select "Start Computer With CDROM Support" re-install Windows.Making A Windows XP Bootable Floppy Windows XP users should create a boot disk now by placing a formatted blank diskette in the A: drive, open Windows Explorer to the C:,select Tools,Folder Options ,show Hidden files and and folders,then View Tab. Now you uncheck "Hide Protected Operating System Files (recommended). You will see a warning and click Yes and click OK. Copy the files ntldr,ntdetect.com and boot.ini onto the disk. Remove the disk and label it the Windows XP Boot Disk.After making your boot disk, recheck "Hide protected operating system files and folders (recommended)" in the Folder Options dialog box. To use the disk when Windows XP won't boot,place the disk in the drive,and unto re-booting,the computer, Windows simply bypass the basic boot files on the hard drive and continue to boot up.If The PC Won't Boot Past WindowsFIRST: If your Operating System is Windows Millennium,turn on the computer and immediately press and hold down the CTRL key. Once the startup options appear,release the CTRL key. Select Safe Mode and press Enter. You are now in Windows limited version. If you know what caused your computer not to boot,you can now either change or delete that program.SECOND: Repair your Registry by selecting Start,Run and typing "scanregw /fix" and press enter. This will fix any damage done to the Registry. You can also restore your registry which replaces your current registry with an earlier copy that was backed up by your computer. Click on Start,Run and type "scanregw /restore and press Enter.To repair your Windows 98 Registry,hold down the CTRL key as you start the PC and select "Command Prompt Only". Type "scanreg /fix" and press Enter and "scanreg/restore" to restore a previously saved copy of the Registry.If you have Windows XP,press F8 after rebooting the PC should Windows freeze while booting up. You can select "Last Known Good Configuration" after rebooting to allow the computer to boot the last backed up files.And you can choose "Safe Mode" to remove any files you know caused the operating system to hang up.Be prepared when your operating fails to boot. It would be a great idea to go over this article a few times and print it. Make yourself s notebook and place this and all related articles there.If your computer fails to boot or begins to become unstable,you can refer to these articles to make corrections that are needed. Learn these steps from your television set with the PC Super Pack.Be sure to note any changes you make to your Registry and if you're not sure,its best to find a friend that's PC savvy first. Above all,be certain you backup your registry before making any changes and know how to restore as well.First things First: PC is not booting up, not even BIOS is shown:Check the Power Supply.See if the SMPS Fan is working.Open the Case and see if the Motherboard LED is Glowing.Remove all the add-on cards and have only a single RAM (if you have more than 1).Reset the BIOS (check motherboard manual).Try to Boot.Watch for Motherboard beeps.Have a POST guide and try to figure out the post code.If BIOS is OK and problem with Booting of Windows/Mac/Linux see above.
