And what prevents you from reading the help/documentation? Here (linked to from the given page): http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/erunt.txt Guess what the chapters titled: Restoring the registry with ERDNT - Emergency Scenario I and Restoring the registry with ERDNT - Emergency Scenario II are about? And BTW: jaclaz

SCOOP! According to Ed Bott: 1) Terry Myerson actually know what he says 2) Microsoft stands by what he said http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-blocks-windows-10-creators-update-on-some-pcs/ Clover Trail? Any among: Atom Z2760 Atom Z2520 Atom Z2560 Atom Z2580 Sorry pal, you chose processors that are not anymore supported by Windows 10. jaclaz

I am not sure to understand the questions. It is not like the Doctor prescribed you to run Autoruns, you are talking of ghost drivers (and I presume services) and possibly not fully uninstalled applications, all things that "reside" in the Registry, if you use Autoruns ONLY for those items you listed, then SURELY it will only change the Registry, but of course if when you use it you also delete files, etc. restoring a backup will not recreate the same situation as before . The Registry is built on-the-fly at boot time from the assembling of a number of "backing files", typically: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/307545/how-to-recover-from-a-corrupted-registry-that-prevents-windows-xp-from c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\system32\config\default + the users hive(s) in each profile "NTUSER.DAT". The suggested ERUNT is a handy tool that can backup (and restore via ERDNT) all the needed files. jaclaz

I don't get it. What is the problem? Make a backup of the Registry BEFORE changing anything (through Autoruns or otherwise) and in case of need restore it... http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/ jaclaz

Corollary: I think some non-existing functions needs addition. jaclaz

Yep, and we do this EXACTLY since May 21 or 22, 2014: https://www.sebijk.com/community/index.php?thread/2984-xp-updates-weiterbeziehen/ The post by Sebjik used to be on page 3 but since the last (or maybe last before last) stupid update to the stupid board software it is on page 5 of the thread. Maybe making a reference to the Softpedia page: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Update-Windows-XP-after-End-of-Support-443631.shtml where it was published on the 23rd would be more "stable". jaclaz

Interesting choice of word: gang (also "leader" and "managing", let alone "project" are IMHO perplexing, but that is another thing) jaclaz

I thought you just stated that your current projects are overwhelming you, that there are too many things to do and not enough resources for completing them and that you were losing your hopes, etc, and now you are going to add to the things to do an incredibly large project? jaclaz

And on other news, another UI/tool redesign is seemingly not appreciated much by customers: https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/14/15970430/microsoft-skype-redesign-feedback jaclaz

PAE patch and 32 bit? It seems like a a 2012 (Mac) ACPI is not compatible with the level XP 64 would understand: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7288953?start=0&tstart=0 jaclaz

Or maybe there is one and you were unable to find it. Like right clicking on the hexdump window (usually bottom left) ->Search for ...->All referenced strings And then right click on the results Search for text (or Ctrl+F and Ctrl+L) Or right clicking on the hexdump window Search for ...->Binary string (or Ctrl+B) jaclaz

Do I get it right that you can't find any video card with a low profile bracket? jaclaz

You cannot. Your are using NTLDR as your primary bootmanager AND bootloader. NTLDR can only chainload a bootsector (or a special program coded in such a way to seem to it a bootsector) OR boot a Windows NT/2K/XP (so called ARCPATH to the Windows System directory). What you need to do in order to load a Windows 7 is to chainload its bootmanager OR a bootsector chainloading it. You can use (it may depend on the specific setup) use a bootsector created by bootpart: http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm or use an intermediate bootmanager, such as grub4dos grldr, that can be chainloaded from NTLDR and then can itself chainload eiteher the SSD MBR, or the SSD bootsector or directly the Windows 7 BOOTMGR. We already had this discusson (or a very similar one): jaclaz

Does the word "attachment" ring any bell? Just in case: http://www.askvg.com/collection-of-registry-tweaks-for-windows-7/ jaclaz

A hard disk, inside an external case, doesn't get "normal" EM influence, of course you cannot lay it on your Degausser not bring it with you when doing a MRI. They suffer from hard hits or if dropped when in use, but you shouldn't use one as an anvil, nor toss them on the floor to see if they bounce up. If you live in Japan you are fine for accidental drops : The fact that none of your USB sticks fried or however stopped working yet is not in any way a rational reason to believe they are in any way reliable (hint: they aren't, particularly when mechanically stressed and when aging, for different reasons). The great advantage of USB sticks is that they are small, portable (and much easily lost accidentally) and they are actually mechanically "tougher" than hard disks BUT they often happen to fail (for no apparent reason) and when they do recovery is usually a much bigger problem than hard disks. In any case the whole idea of a three devices rotating set is that at any given moment you have three copies of your files (besides the original on your PC's hard disk) that are snapshot taken a times t, t-1x and t-2x where x is the interval of the backups, I suggested what is a "normal" procedure that can actually be followed regularly with a minimum of discipline, with x=1 month, but x can be any interval of time (hint: once upon a time in a not so far galaxy, all we had were floppy disks, and we had one labeled Monday, one labeled Wednesday, the last labeled Friday) in the worse case where BOTH the original and one of the three backups are destroyed, specifically the last one, you may lose 1 unit worth of unsaved work/data, in the worst-worst case where BOTH the original and TWO of the backups are destroyed (the t and the t-1x) you may lose 2 unit worth of unsaved work/data. It's up to you to determine, based on the value of your data, which time unit to assign to x. jaclaz

Well, with time you will be able to feel the continuous flow of the ever-changing[1] nature of the OS, there is no place in space of time that is not swept by the currents of telemetry and nothing is ever the same as it was before as the updates keep everything in this flux of uncertainty, everywhere is nowhere and nowhere is everywhere ... jaclaz [1] yet perennially crappy

Yep, good to know, translated: means: as there is no "between". jaclaz

Don't worry , I was just kidding, it simply could have been better worded . @Dybia Is your post in English? I cannot make head or tails of it. Maybe you could try to be more verbose and try to explain what you wanted to say. And now, something actually on topic: https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2017/07/09/24-core-cpu-and-i-cant-move-my-mouse/ Quote of the day: jaclaz

Yes, but at least we tried. Probably (has to be checked) good ol' Registry Viewer (which is also an editor) of the General Paul Lee Project may be able to insert the values offline: http://paullee.ru/regstry.html (use Google translate from Russian) but if that the specific app isn't able to read/change the REG_SZ key, it's over. jaclaz

I see , I read USB drive and understood USB Hard Disk drive instead of USB stick. So, you buy 3 x 500 Gb Toshiba Canvio Basics (these ARE USB Hard Disk drives) for around 50-60 bucks each. Then you copy ALL your files to the first one, which you mark as #1 and keep it connected to your PC. Then you backup the #1 to #2 first week of even months. Then you backup the #1 to #3 first week of odd months. Then after one year you shift the labels, #1 becomes #2, #2 becomes #3 and #3 becomes #1, and you have the "new" #1 connected to your PC. Or, you buy an used server, etc., etc. jaclaz

Yep, now it is clear, it is the program that attempts to change the type of the field. I will show you what I meant (checking now the Registrar Lite is not suitable, but maybe some other tool exists).

52 GB? +20*5Gb = 100 Gb so between 150 Gb and (if DVD's are 9 Gb each) 250 Gb? Are you sure? 6 USB disks with an average of less than 10 GB each? (they can't be 52 TB unless you have 10 TB USB disks) jaclaz

We are somehow not communicating. I have no win9x handy, but on NT based systems the "default" IS a REG_SZ, AND it can have either a "string" or a "hex string" as value, still remaining REG_SZ. It is about a SINGLE type (REG_SZ), NOT about different data types, but of course unless you check and report we are running circles. Can you please try using Registrar Lite (provided that it shows data type on both Windows 95 and 98) and post the two screenshots showing the data type? Of course if the program changes the data type on Windows 98, that is the reason why it won't work on Windows 95. jaclaz

Yes, it is a bit better , still you were right in NOT choosing advertising as a profession (at least as much as I was right in NOT attempting the diplomatic career) , you do know how this sounds, don't you? jaclaz
