Hi Yup Yup,
Don't know why they claim it works on 7.
Maybe installing it in Compat. mode for Vista SP1 and giving it Run as admin on the setup.exe would make a difference? I see no mention of it on their site.
There was a way of restoring the Registry from WinRe in XP
How to recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP from starting
Don't think there's anything similar for Vista\7.
win 7 beta 7000, i just installed registry mechanic v5.2 with no issues... cleaned 464 entries.... rebooted, and no issues at all.. worked flawless.. even compressed the reg as well.
my 2 cents..
thanks guys,
chris
Just did that same results.
Sorry i thought you were looking for a single command to restore the registry. The commands for the manual method in that guide still apply to vista and windows 7. The "guided help" executable does not apply to vista and windows 7 because you can you use restore points in WinRe where the XP recovery console could not.
Hi crstfr,
I just tried Desktop Maestro 2 from PC Tools - the reg. compactor on that worked fine - even across drives. It is the same module as in the app. you used.
"across drives"? It doesnt defrag drives, just the regfile.
