just a general question pls,.... Does MS still provide important updates forW7E-64b? I have a laptop that updates, shows optional updates, but no Important updates are shown? Previous loads of OS MS W7E-64b (with authenticate key) installed permitted updates of at least 200 in quantity and in...

thx Will and jcgrilff2.... its obvious I should have not used the Tweaking.com tool for system repair. I will reload my back-up image and consider a complete reinstall of Win 7E-64b so that my laptop is operating again. Too many issues with existing OS and existing image and not worth Sysnative...

hi and hello again: Your questions are answered below. Very funky operation with new acct added: (a) could not find usrclass.dat file for problem acct. I determined there was no AppData file...dah!!! (b)new account created w/ Admin acct ran very slowly...dah!!! (c)could not create desktop...

I used Tweaking.com's repair tool (free version) to understand repair(s) it made for Windows 7. I also made a HD image "just in case" before use of the Tweaking.com tool. Registry back-ups were also created as part of the tool's repair tests and part of the tool's execution of 35 tests/repair...

ok wil do...thx for assisting. Will retrieve problem usrclass.dat file and perform BSD procedure today.

using cmd above with quotes displays "The system cannot find the file specified" However file is found at: users\<acctname>\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\usrclass.dat thx for the recommendation NOT to use remote registry for hivelist import. I forgot about the SID properties. Will proceed...

one question...I don't see the hklm_users hive in the regbackup list. Am i missing something? I felt confident with your rsolution but realized the other keys in the backup directory I already have. What I need is the hivelist subkey in the hklm_user hive. The hklm_users hive contains...

wow...love it. I will try and report back. I knew there had to be a method for recovery of the hivelist subkey. The fact that I am using the local registry backup voids potential user acct differences from a registry imported from an externaal laptop and registry. Question: what...

thx...in other words I have two choices: 1. use a previous restore point as you suggested 2. use a repair install that reloads w7E-64b and keeps all my data and apps. However current up-to-date "updates" are lost so I would have to download all updates again (a real pain!!!!). Will make a...

Thx for the response. Good idea. Will try today. I cannot launch Maintenance>Backup and Restore from the START>Programs list. The Control Panel and access to Backup and Restore may work as an alternative or I will use Start-Up repair w/ external W7E-64b DVD. I will investigate today after I...

hi and hello: SUMMARY: I decided to remove MALWAREBYTES and after use of REVO Uninstaller I went into the registry for additional deletions. I became too aggressive and stupid me, DID NOT make a copy of the registry....(felt very confident...dah!!!). PROBLEM: Laptop operation is now "no...

Peter.. pls issue a [Solved] for this issue. Read my last input. Makes no sense but a Happy Camper. Never ran any tools from Tweaking .com

[SOLVED].....don't know what solved my problem:-):-):-):-). I logged on as Administrator (hidden acct) and observed correct listing for Icon "safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media". Logged out and logged in with my acct and password. Magically the Icon for " Safely Remove Hardware and Eject...

Just noticed that "blank page" only happens in my log on user acct. Complete list of devices when I log on as Administrator. Will start registry searching today. Any thoughts??? Any solutions?? Thank you for your help.

In answer to your question, three small horizontal dots below the text "Open Devices and Printers". A R/click produces a white screen when mouse pointer is over text "Open Devices and Printers".
