    It's failing to restore the registry files, possibly because they are too corrupt.

    You should proceed with a clean reinstall which is a vastly superior install that will get you beyond the corruption which has built up: Reinstalling Windows 7

    As a last resort you can try to replace your registry files with the backup as given here: Startup Repair Infinite Loop Recovery. You may be able to do it from the desktop since you are not locked out. However be aware this is experimental and not a sure thing at all.

    Hello Greg,

    I will try the method you posted. But since you say it's the registry, couldn't you tell me where the error occurs? Maybe I can fix it myself by changing or deleting the value/keys.

    Yes clean install fixes the OS, but like I said my main priority is containing my games.. I can always make a dualboot with a clean version but here is my result of clean install:

    So I made a clean install windows 7 64 bit ultimate sp1

    + I installed some extra stuff like
    UE3Redist (unreal redistributable)
    Vcredist x86 (Visual ++ 2005 redist)
    Vcredist x86 (Visual ++ 2008 redist)
    Vcredist x86 (Visual ++ 2008 sp1 redist)
    Vcredist x86 (Visual ++ 2010 redist)
    Games for windows live redist
    Microsoft XNA framework redist 3.1
    MSXML 4.0 SP parser
    Netframework 1.1 + sp1
    Netframework 4.0 Client+ extended
    Latest Java
    Visual Basic 6 SP6 Runtime library (vb6 dlls)
    Windows Media Encoder 9 32bit edition
    Direct x 9.0 c june 2010 redist
    Not sure if I got all requirment software, these were all I could think of.

    I have started every game to see if they boot, and from the 200 these 9 give trouble, but to my suprise the other 191 would boot.. (and another 9 needed reg fixes which I made myself, mostly needing directing to the game installation folder.)

    Can I sort of assume with a decent certainty that if the games boot that they are OK to play like this?

    I mean most games just make new config registry if they see it's not there, though there seem to be some games which require deeper registry. It's probably not like halfway through the game it will error out on me right?
    However these games give trouble:
    Age of empires online
    Black and white CreatureIsle
    Halo
    Halo 2
    The Witcher
    command and conquer generals zero hour
    Combat arms EU
    Prince of Persia Warrior Within
    Prince of Persia The Sands of Time

    I have tried what you said and put back the regback folder,
    I get a bluescreen with BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO
    STOP 0x00000074

    And last known config didn't work either..

    EDIT:

    I think the regback files were renewed since my last recovery, so I looked into my image file and took the regback folder from there and replaced it on the current system.

    It seems it worked. straight boot loads the correct CONTROLSET again, and no user login screen! (i had trouble with it eventhough I did everthing the guide said I should do for this)

    It seems this is a registry file from BEFORE i pressed the sysprep button. Not sure if it's going to help my upgrade but im going to try again!

    Keep us posted.

    Those games seem to have made a lot of tweaks to the registry which are likely causing the logjam. You can see the actual Reg Keys which are failing to copy in the failure log you posted.

    You have any old System Images? Have you tried reimaging to check performance?

    You can always install the 9 games which balk on your reinstall, and any others that suffer from running uninstalled. After playing them all over time you can eventually move the Program files to the new install partition and delete the old install. Post up a screenshot of your Disk Mgmt so we can see if the System boot files need moving first.

    Which "attempt" did you look at? Which log exactly, since there are mutiple logfiles, and they are quite long...
    Because I want to know which keys are keep f king me over.

    I just tried again after restoring the regback folder, and got blue screen 0x0000007E (0xFFFFF etc etc long code..

    Hmm i was just thinking I do have one older image with less about 100 games on it(I accidently deleted a drive with 100 games there; so won't keep my hopes too high) , maybe I can look at the regback folder in there to see if it's of an earlier date, I'll keep you posted.

    Yes I can re-install those 9 games again, that is not such a big deal when talking about a Master-Image.

    I would gladly do that, but the facts nags me that im not sure if those other 191 games will keep working without crashes eventhough they boot fine like normal, without their registry counterparts.(eventhough alot is autocreated)

    Like I wouldn't want to find out that i have created an image which is even more troublesome where lets say a quarter of the games keep crashing infrequently.. this is not so easy to test with 200 games as they could occur from 5 min to an hour if it would contain errors. Though my experience generally is that they don't need the game registry. The only game that gave me trouble in my history was c&c generals were buildings would explode if you run it without really installing it.

    I go to sleep now.. I try tommorow again. Thanks for your help again.

    setup.err only logs the failures

    The key failures are the last ones logged, although much of the end of the log is rollback logging.

    IT FINALLY WORKED!!!

    I deleted some BTHport registry (though not all as it seemed to many to do manually)
    I deleted users\acronisaccount
    Ran cleanup utility for Acronis
    Moved out the 1.cat t/m 5.cat files mentioned to my dekstop which were mentioned in the errors.

    disabled/removed Remote Differential Compression

    Which should be done according to this link
    www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=434247

    He talks about 2 other components that should be removed from windows features but they weren't on my list at all.

    Almost there!

    New problems arise:

    Each time I reboot it says netframework 4.0 is repairing. I tried to manually repair but it failed and gave errors.

    My coretemp program isn't working anymore, I updated it, but it also crashes on startup.

    Games for windows live crash on start..


    Other then that.. Security issue seems to be ok so far?? =)

    Thanks for your help on upgrading appreciate it, don't know if you can do anything with my new problems?

    I'd uninstall Net framework 4., Windows Live and Coretemp before upgrading then reinstall them afterwards.

    Hmm good one I keep that in mind!

    Currently got Coretemp running again by messing around with re-installing some visual/net frame packages.

    Now looking at games for windows live which said a required windows component is disabled on your machine. (but no info on which..)

    Your idea is a good one.. though i'd have to do the image and upgrade AGAIN lol.. but i'll do that if I can't seem to get it working like this.
