iamjfarrell Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I messed with my registry keys and told by a website to make my computer performance a little better but recently I have noticed that my computer just randomly cuts off; almost like a hibernation but wont come back from it. I believe it had to do something with the "hangtime" registry key. But who knows... maybe I can get them back to default or someone knows what I can do to my registry key to fix the problem... Thanks you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks you guys!Run the program again while regmon is running so you know what keys it messes with. You might be able to just delete the keys it changes and windows will use the default values. Post what keys are being messed with and hopefully someone will know if it safe to just delete that key.There is also a posibilty that the program you used contains some malware. What program did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamjfarrell Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 I just went to 'start'>'run'>typed in 'Regedit' and self edited it from there... but after I had done all the damage I read that you should always back up the registry before you do anything to them... so that is mistake number 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrainDrain Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Would you be able to post what Registry value you changed, or change it back to what it was previously (by looking at another install)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamjfarrell Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 I'm not too sure... I am trying to find the website and all the registries it had me change... but I'm faced with bad luck tonight. I am pretty confident it has something to do with hangtime on the computer like if it starts to freeze or something how long the computer tolerates the time or something like that. It has ruined about 75% of the project I was working on. (because I don't save often enough) So I need something, its annoying the p*** out of me!

mau-yong Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 If you don't use any "cleaner" for recently used entries (like ccleaner or disk cleaner), chances are if you are to open the registry now you will be back at the most recent key you edited. This means you can easily put back the default registry entry (if you know what that was ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamjfarrell Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 I am going to give the registry cleaner a try because I have searched all through out my registry keys looking for what I changed a while back. I hope this cleaner will do me a miracle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
