Please someone HEEELP! Have you tried using System Restore? Find a restore point that precedes when your trouble began. And dump the registry repair programs before you make things worse.

These programs are undoubtedly what hosed your system. Any registry cleaner or "optimizer" will cause more problems than they will ever fix, especially if you let them do the work for you. If you must edit your registry do it yourself manually and select only the items that need to be altered or deleted. If you don't know how to do this you have no business editing the registry. In any event, there's really no need to clean, defrag or optimize your registry. Orphaned registry entries and bloated registries will rarely cause any problems, performance related or otherwise. Do a System Restore prior to the time you ran these two programs. If you don't have a restore point you can run sfc /scannow and it may help to some degree. If you have a Vista installation DVD you can boot from it and try to repair your system. You may have to reformat and reinstall your OS, depending on the damage you have done to the system files. C.B. -- It is the responsibility and duty of everyone to help the underprivileged and unfortunate among us.
