Incident: Installed superantispyware tool, which found/removed an unknown amount of registry components. After restarting my HPTm2, I had the following major issues:
1) Windows 7 Home Premium switched to Classic Mode and voided any other themes
2) Keyboard shortcuts e.g. brightness and sound no longer worked
3) No network connection capability or even audio control
4) System log is not functioning, thus, no access to errors that may have occurred prior to the deletion. This also includes System Restore and Creating Images.
Hi. How can you be sure that it is the program you blame? You make a strong statement, and I understand that you are upset, but there are many possible causes including user error. Also, my main point, what is your question? Regards, – Xavierjazz – 2012-03-12T04:21:06.903
Well, I wanted to see if there was a way to get those registry parts back. The laptop is used solely for work i.e. pdf modification programs and the usual e-mail. Thus, after seeing a how-to-geek on improving Windows 7 performance, I tried to take a stab and pretty much followed by the book with setting task scheduler for disk cleanup, installing this program, and another program that disabled the auto-reboot from those pesky Windows reminders. There were suggestions for direct registry modifications in the article, but I strayed away. – Christia – 2012-03-12T04:38:08.113
Why not just restore a back-up or do a re-installation? – Tamara Wijsman – 2012-03-12T18:16:20.067
I agree, although since the Windows 7 was already prepackaged, the only option I have is to restore to factory settings. – Christia – 2012-03-12T18:28:56.897
