Registry Recovery Error Message

[Guest]

Every time I boot my computer up, I get the following message: "One of the
files containing the system's Registry data had to be recovered by use of a
log of alternate copy. The recovery was successful." My computer has been
doing this for a few months--it doesn't seem to be causing any problems
(other than being rather annoying). Is this something that i need to take
care of? and if so, what do I need to do to get rid of it? (I have Windows XP
Media Center Edition Version 2002.)

The problem could be caused by some corrupted files on the hard drive. So try
the following first:

Go to my computer and right click on the hard drive (which is generally c:
unless you have specified otherwise) then click properties, this will bring
up the hard drive properties window. Now click on the tools tab and then
click on Check Now... then you will need to select both the "Automatically
fix file system errors" and the "check for and attempt recovery of bad
sectors" and then click ok it will then prompt you to schedule a scan at
start-up click yes and then manually restart your computer.

When you computer restarts it will scan the hard drive and repair any
errors. This process takes about 1 to 2 hours depending on the size and
condition of your hard drive. Once this is finished your computer will
restart and the problem should be resolved.

If the above didn’t help you may download TuneUp Utilities 2007 and run
TuneUp RegistryDefrag. There are different registry tune ups available from
www.download.com.

Also make sure your system has up to date security softeware, (antivirus,
spybot, and so on).

Recurring instances of registry corruption can be caused by defective
RAM. Download one of the following free RAM testing utilities and
run it to test your RAM for possible defects. It is best to run these
tests for an extended period, such as overnight.

Something, possibly over-heated or defective RAM, or improper
shutdowns, is causing registry corruption.
