after installing some tweaks from this site... my windows xp doesn't start. i get this blue screen which i can't see, 'cause it makes my windows restart quickly... i installed another windows (in the same partition). now, the question is:
can i enter regedit of the first windows and fix those damaged files? if so, what are they're values?
i hope someone can help me...
thanks in advanced...

None of the tweaks here caused your problem, most likely it was operator error. Did you try using system restore or repair XP?

:D

the only thing i did was installing patches from here, before that, nothing was wrong...
what do u mean in restore? restore to the last known...?
and repair? i tried chkdsk...
i'd love to hear some suggestions...

I promise you that the tweaks here did not crash your system. You do know about system restore right? Do you know how to repair XP with your XP cd?

:cool:

i think i tried repair from cd... can u be a little bit more specific about it? is there any other way?

Just put your XP cd into your cdrom tray and reboot, when you reboot change your BIOS to boot from cd first, it will automatically start booting from your XP cd then select repair XP when given the option and it will walk you through the rest.

Not to pick on ya dude, but any info I have gotten or tweaks I have used from this site, have only screwed up my system if I myself had screwed up the tweak..I mean sure you might be a little frustrated with it not working and what not, but I would watch any blasting you do on here, you'll find most of the head mods, and senior members have MORE than a little patients with people on here....It must be true if I haven't gotten on their nerves yet...:D

Anti-Tweak all they do is change your transfer settings, its virtually impossible to mess up anything. If it did its something you did, guaranteed.
