Windows 7: Create a System Image problem

HP Pavillion Notebook
Win 7 Ult
using ext HD
Zonealarm Extreme


tried this once and it worked

next time got errors



DOES NOT EXIST AS AN INSTALLED SERVICE
COULD NOT START INTERNAL ERROR

(0x80070424)


there have been a lot of problems getting this thing up

So, the question is how to fix it?

troubleshooters don't seem to find it


doubt it is the firewall...

Have a look and see if you have this registry entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\wbengine

Are you using an app. that has a registry cleaner ?

I see no such entry using regedit


so, what should put in??

Here's a copy of mine - try merging it:

wbengine.reg

Also - any idea what is removing it?

doubt it was regmech

been very reliable

might be crapcleaner not so reliable

Run both of them and see which removes the entry ( if any).

You can always merge the .reg agin to put it back in.

Maybe you can add it to the exclude list of those apps.

Is System Image working after merging the .reg file?

i'll try that sometime

anyway thanks, just ran a successful image due to your efforts

note: if this is such an important point in the registry, should it not have been better written?

It is like other registry entries - it can be removed by registry cleaners.

Glad it is working for you.

Welcome to the Windows 7 Forums! Howzits

CCleaner isn't really a registry cleaner to start with there. That's mainly one with an uninstaller included as well as an IE history cleanup set by default and mainly intended for cleaning up empty temp folders not being used to recover drive space.

Over use of any registry can have negative impact to start with. One program being looked at now for a 3rd party system maintainence program is called Advanced SystemCare which also includes a registry cleaner in that as well. Advanced SystemCare Free | Free Windows XP/Vista/7 Registry Cleaner, Clean Privacy & Speed Up PC

I'm waiting to see how that one takes to chop the wrong entry out here.

Hello SIW2,
Reference problem posted above, I found this (as per your response to Howzits). Pls advise on action. Thanks
