i lost regedit

[ArkAoss]

i cant find or use regedit on my pc help!!!

 

[Eeks]

you need to download it from MS

if my memory serves me, it does NOT come with Win, you need to go get it from their site. Its free tho. Happy hunting

 

[The Stigenator]

its part of all windows os - 95/98/98se/me/nt4/w2k
i dont know if 3.1 had it though - probably did.

 

[Ulysses]

Or go to WWW.PCMAG.COM and download their utility REGEDIT +.

 

[ViRGE]

Ya, it should come with all versions of Win9x and WinNT.

PS 3.1 doesn't even have a registry.

 

[Xanathar]

Lack of regedit is a major sign for some viruses, have you tried runnning msconfig? If you see a large amount of RUN= statements, or ones that seem like they are empty, you may have a virus.

 

[ArkAoss]

yeah well how do i get it back??

 

[noxipoo]

the life stages virus (or worm actually) deleted regedit. my friend had it and it was gone.

 

[ArkAoss]

yeah i had the life stages, how do i recover it?

 

[dawks]

format. reinstall

 

[Xmech]

Does the computer boot to windows? Safe mode? if it does, do a reinstall of windows, assuming u already took care of the virus.

 

[ArkAoss]

no other way?

 

[ArkAoss]

virus is long long long gone, i just cant run regedit

 

[1KrazyFool]

If you have your install CD or media (c:\windows\options\cabs), extract it! "extract /a base4.cab regedit.exe"

this will search all the cab files and extract regedit for you. copy it to c:\windows and you're good to go.
