Restoring registry

[Guest]

My login for hotmail keeps looping back to the log-in page. I tried accepting
cookies, turned off pop-up blocker& every thing else suggested. Microsoft
live id suggested restoring my registry. I have xpsp2. I have modified the
sorce path to the cd/dvd drive, the Service Pack Source Path to
%windir%\ServicePackFiles, and WINDOWSNT\CurrentVersion to the cd\dvd drive
all suggested in support.microsoft, but it still won't restore. If anyone can
help with either problem I would appreciate it greatly

Hi,

System Restore is the built-in tool for restoring the registry. Have you
tried it?

Thanks but already tried that most of my restore dateshave disappeared, those
that are left weren't helpful.

From you original post, were you attempting to perform a repair install?

When I attempted the autostreamer it was downloaded & installed without
problem when I attempted to launch it told me i had the wrong operating
system. It says it works on xp sp2. When I attempted the second choice of
slipstreaming, when I tried to download the nlite internet explorer kept
telling me the page could not be found. When I attempted the third choice
when I typed in cd sp2 in the command line window as requested on the second
line I get the message "system cannot find path specified". It seems as
though I hit a brick wall every way I turn. Any suggestions?

-is your hotmailaccount maybe expired because you didn't use it for a while?
-have you entered accountname/password REALLY correct?
-have you tried to create a new hotmailaccount to see if it's working with
this
and then maybe works again with your original account?
