| 512785 | 2007-01-05 02:08:00 | Intermittenly, this XP Pro machine pops up an error message just after successfully started Windows, saying the the Registry is damaged and it is using the backup copy of registry to recover the damages. It then says that the recovery is successfull. What is happening? Any idea? Reinstalled OS but the problem doesn't go away. Suggestions, please Cheers |

| 512786 | 2007-01-05 02:40:00 | Sorry I can't suggest anything atm, however I'm interested in knowing more about this problem...So I have some questions if you wouldn't mind please. 1. Is this problem present straight after installation of the OS (before you've installed anything else...progs, drivers etc? 2. Does this problem occure on any machine you try to install on? (if you have others to try it on of course) 3. Are there any errors during the install? |

This usually happens after installing device drivers or some software. Sorry, never tried this CD on any other machines. |

| 512788 | 2007-01-05 03:03:00 | I would start by testing the RAM using Memtest. If RAM is OK then run a scandisk on the HDD. |

| 512789 | 2007-01-05 03:06:00 | Hmm...I guess you can tell from my questions that I was thinking the problem may be the install disk. Trying on another different machine may help establish that. (however I realise that that may not be an option for you) One more question if I may please... Have you had that disk a while and installed from it before without such problems? Thanks for indulging my curiousity thus far. |

Thanks for indulging my curiousity thus far. If I remember correctly, I used this CD to reinstall the OS about 2 years ago without any problem. As such, I don't think it is the CD problem. |

| 512791 | 2007-01-05 03:19:00 | Got hold of another XP CD to try on this machine. It is running now. Will report back as soon as it has finished. | bk T (215) | ||
| 512792 | 2007-01-05 03:21:00 | Take a snaphot of this error and post it. Or do a search in google/yahoo on the exact error you're getting. Did u do a clean install or install XP over XP? |

| 512793 | 2007-01-05 05:27:00 | Just finished the installation - exactly the same registry warning. Here is the exact wording: "One of the files containing the system's Registry data had to be recovered by use of an alternate copy. The recovery was successful." |

| 512794 | 2007-01-05 05:35:00 | Made a google search and MS says: "This Windows 2000 Executive STATUS message is for your information. Choose OK to continue. No other action is needed" But it is annoying. Is there a way to get rid of it? |
