Corrupt Registry
Evening Gents,
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
I was defragmenting my hard drive and when I restarted my PC it launched into Windows Startup Repair, and, bad news it could not find a problem - so I went to restore the system and all the System Restore points have been deleted (probs due to defragmenting, or rather defragmenting failure).
The error cited by the Startup Repair is 'Registry is Corrupt'. I booted into Safe Mode, and ran the Little Registry Repair program and it found around 100+ registry problems, which it repaired all but 4. The system still does not boot normally. I did ran SFC \SCANNOW and it said that there were some unfixable problems with system files. I also ran a memory check for the sake of ruling it out and there are no problems there. I would just repair the installation through the install, but low and behold you can't do that from Safe Mode, thank you Microsoft.
What else can I do? I know a reinstall may seem like the easiest option but I would rather avoid it by all means.
Cheers,
