Everytime I restart the computer the "my computer" opens up to max and then
min without me clicking on it. How can I stop this?
 
Ran the scrip and it said that it could not repair your issue....the expected
registry value was not found.
 
Gerry,
I used some registry repair software a few days ago. It said that I had
some 200 bad registries and it made a backup and took care of the
problems....right. This software is bad and it won't reinstall the backup.
I could be in serious trouble here....although this seems to be the only
quirk once I deleted the registry repair software. Any suggestions after
reading my two responses would be appreciated.

I would run System Restore, and restore the system state to the time before
this program had been launched.

Start -- Run... -- Msconfig
then press 'Launch System Restore' button on General tab. Apply 'Restore my
system....', then select the date and time closest to the time when you ran
this program (probably you'll even see the comment about this program
launching -- then select that point).

All the programs installed after the moment of the Restore Point you selected
will be lost, but all the data (docs, pictures etc.) will remain intact.

I have tried this before. I have gone back the same day I installed the
repair software to the check point and 2 days earlier to a check point and
both say that it can't restore because their were no changes made. Could
this be because I have the back-up still in my computer?
 
Russ, are you sure the error message was actually "can't restore because their
were no changes made"? That is very strange then: in general, that is
impossible message. So please, what is this message word by word, verbatim?

The valid restore points are marked in the calendar of System Restore window
in bold, and when you select such bold data by mouse -- you see the time and
the description of all the restore points made that day. You have to select
the time that satisfies you, and press 'Next' button then.

I'm sure. I used software called Advanced System Optimizer. The coding in
this software is all screwed up. Turns out this company is in India. It
made a restore point and a backup copy which the software want let me
re-initiate and my computer is missing a lot of registries that are in the
backup folder. I'll try again on a restore point and cut and past the answer
for you. I have done this twice before and never had a problem picking a
point and restoring.
 
Russ

Was System Restore monitoring an external removable hard drive?

However, this is a side issue probably unrelated to your main problem.

Some Registry Cleaners give a backup safeguard. Did the programme
you used and did decline or opt to backup?

Hope this helps.

Your computer cannot be restored to: Saturday, Dec 17, 2005
System Checkpoint
No changes have been made to your computer. To choose another restore
point, restart system restore. I have picked 3 different restore points
since I have used Advanced System Optimizer. The date I used the software
was 22 Dec. I have gone back to the check point of the morning of the 22nd,
the 19th and finally the 17th. I get the same thing each time. I'm missing
pieces of my software for a lot of my programs and the whole computer is
acting weird. I have McAfee and have checked for viruses and keep everything
up to date. At this point I'm probably looking at a clean reinstall of the
operating system and 3 long days work.
 
I had an external hard drive hooked up when I used System Restore.... The
registry cleaner software I used did a restore point and backup.....but the
software coding is hosed and want allow be to restore the backup.
 
Russ

What happens if you reconnect the external drive?

I want to thank all for their help. I'm using my little laptop while my
computer is getting a clean install. I've learned a good lesson this week,
keep it lean and mean. I plan to live by that from now on. Guess I'll be
busy for a few days. Hope everyone had a great xmas and have a "Happy New
Year".
