| 328289 | 2005-02-26 01:30:00 | Hi All I`m running a Celeron 2.4gb with 512 mb ram and 4ogb HDD. I have a strange problem with an installation of Win XP Pro I formatted the HDD and clean installed Win XP Pro using the NTFS file system. I then installed Service Pack 2.There are no apps installed whatsoever. No hardware except Geforce 2MX 400 graphics card and Creative PCI64 sound card both of which XP loads its` own drivers for. There are no peripherals ( external modem, printer, zip drive etc.) plugged in nor drivers for same loaded. XP also loads its` own drivers for the printer and zip drive when they get plugged in. Previously, when up and running with apps installed and all bits and pieces plugged in I started getting the following message when the desktop appears. "One of the files containing the systems registry data had to be recovered by use of a log or alternate copy. The recovery was successful." I tried `googling` the error message but didn`t find anythig very helpful. I am still getting the same message with the configuration set out above. The message appears virtually every time the computer is started, especially if it has been turned off for a while. I have run chkdisk but no help. Any suggestions anyone? This is annoying the heck out of me! Cheers: Pipercub |

The recovery was successful." One reply I came across may help you.... '....in my case I found out that Video card was over heating and eventually I have to change it'. Ironically I also came across Microsofts site which had the advice "Click Okay. No further action needs to be taken" |

| 328291 | 2005-02-26 02:14:00 | A couple of other suggestions that people reckoned worked were: Download TuneUp 2004 from cnet.com and run TuneUp RegistryDefrag another was... 'The problem was being caused by some corrupted files on the hard drive. So what I had to do was go to my computer and right click on the hard drive (which is generally c: unless you have specified otherwise) then click properties, this will bring up the hard drive properties window. Now click on the tools tab and then click on Check Now... then you will need to select both the "Automatically fix file system errors" and the "check for and attempt recovery of bad secotrs" and then click ok it will then prompt you to schedule a scan at starup click yes and then manually restart your computer. When you computer restarts it will scan the hard drive and repair any errors. This process takes about 1 to 3 hours depending on the size and condition of your hard drive. Once this is finished your computer will restart and the problem should be resolved'. Yet another was change the RAM Personally, I would recommend doing the scan hard disc, then if that doesn't work, download TuneUp 2004 and run the TuneUp RegistryDefrag. If you still have no joy... look at the Grafix card overheating |
