Set the Registry Size Limit to "unlimited"
Hi folks,
I've got a question:
I found this thread
Turn Windows features on or off - empty list - Vista Forums
because I was experiencing the same problem (Turn Windows features on or off - empty list and not able to download updates anymore) and I applied the hack on my Toshiba.
Thing is that that Toshiba died after 2 weeks ...the motherboard decided not to function anymore and now I'm wondering if that hack might have been the cause.Resolution -
1) If you are receiving the "Low Registry Space" error, set the Registry Size Limit to "unlimited":
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control
Key: RegistrySizeLimit
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0xffffff (4294967295)
2) Reboot
3) As a Administrator open a Command Prompt and run "SFC /SCANNOW". The command should complete successfully and if any errors were found, they should be corrected.
This was posted on the ESRI forums, from someone who noticed that Visual Studio 2008 was related to the error. Personally I'm not sure if it was VS, or just installing the .net framework. Here's the link for more chatter on the topic... http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=93&f=1148&t=287391
What does setting to unlimited the registry size really mean?
How does it affect the system?
Can it burn something that is not supposed to be burnt?
I installed win 7 pro on my main machine now and I'm experiencing the same problem.
Should I do it again?
The toshiba was a 3-year old machine so, maybe it was just "its time to go" nothing to do with this hack.
Any hints on this one?
Thanks,
