Windows Registry Recovery Notification

I get this message about 20X a day. Is there any way I can turn it off?
"One of the files containing the system's registry data had to be recovered
by use of a log or alternate copy. The recovery was successful."
Thanks.
 
So, what is the underlying problem? I have tried reloading the OS on more
then one occasion w/o success. I am stopping short of wiping the drive and
installing a fresh copy as I have many programs that I do not want to have to
reinstall. I don't really care if the recovery has to be done, but do it in
the background and move on.
HELP!!

One of the more common causes of this type of error is defective RAM.

Download one of the following free memory testing utilities and run it
to check out RAM:
DocMemory http://www.simmtester.com
Windows Memory Diagnostic http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp
Memtest86: http://www.memtest86.com

Good luck

Ron, Thank you for your posting. I downloaded the Windows Memory Diagnostic
tool and ran the program as instructed. All tests passed. At least I can
cross deffective RAM off the list. Is there a check off box to turn off the
notification somewhere? I could care less if the registry repairs itself, I
just get tired if being notified about it.
Thanks.

The error message is an indication that something is seriously amiss
with your computer and if it passed the memory diagnostic then it must
be something else.

Have you checked your computer for viruses and spyware recently? If
so then what software are you using for this?

Hello
I have that same "One of the files containing the system registry data had
to be recovered etc." every time when starting and no memory problems or
spyware.
Everything works just fine but what happens when registry recovery doesn't
fix the problem on startup..
Is there any software that can locate the corrupted registry part on startup ?

The next most likely suspect would be the hard drive itself.

Go to the hard drive manufacturer's web site and download their free
testing and diagnostic utility and run it to check out the hard drive.

Also check your computer's BIOS setup and see if it has an item for
Hard Drive S.M.A.R.T. monitoring. If so make sure this is enabled.
Many manufacturer's ship new computers with this setting disabled,
probably on the idea that if a problem is not reported then it doesn't
exist.

Good luck
