Ja50n01 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hi Guys, I use Vista 64bit and CleanmyPC reg cleaner. I had a problem being unable to open Network sharing centre, User accounts or Windows update. So trying to fix it i attempted to restore my system using the windows disc. Nothing happened so i looked at my Reg cleaner ans there was an option to revert to a backup. I made the back up a few weeks ago just after re-installing windows. This did work and i can open windows update etc except now, FSX wont work(doesn't show in Microsoft Games(however it is showing on the C:program files etc) Even Microsoft office show's under program files yet it states there is a problem with the shortcut and it says only available for programs that are installed. If i try FSX i get ERROR the MSXML4 SP2 component is not installed, please reinstore flight sim to restore or repair this missing component. If i re-install fsx will it begin working again? I have emailed Cleanmypc to see if i can revert what i did(I should have made a backup before reverting, I thought it was a one time backup process). Would all my add-ons run, REX loads up ok etc so hopefully i can recover it. Next question! If it looks like a safer bet to re-install everything what files can i back up to save Rewards, Flight log, setup configs etc as i still have full access to FSX files. Also any shortcuts to save me time re-installing FSX/FTX and other add ons. Also i only just setup simconnect are there any files i can back up if re-installation is required. Sorry for the long post, any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mango, OK so I will continue using it, how often do you use the reg cleaner? Yeah i do have Ultimate, I have about 800gb to backup so i may need to get an external HDD(I have a HD Video camera that fills HDrives like no ones business and do a lot of video editing on the 64bit system. What would you recomend use ultimate to back up once a week. Does it then Restore as your system was when stable? I have tried so many of these programs such as Norton Ghost etc but have never got them to work as wanted. I do backup all my Files safely, but it's the re-installing that drives me MAD :'( :'( :'( All advice is greatly recieved, Cheers Mango I am fed up of spending a good week re-installing LOL, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanF Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Personally I never use any third party addon to clean my registry, things can go bad. I do it manually with the regedit command, and every week or anytime Im about to install something I create a system restore point. If something goes wrong you can restore your pc back to that point in time. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Yeah I really need to set restore points, I am a little scared of the registry but thanks for the info anyway, Cheers Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
