I can pretty much answer any question related to PC`s. My ratings speak for themselves. All I ask is that you ask the question in English.....I do not understand gibberish and I will ask you to resend the question if I cannot understand it. I will do the best I can answering your questions. I've been working with computers for well over 20 years.

Windows XP - windows xp registry missing


Expert: Michael Tedeschi - 3/12/2009

Question
I have windows xp on my laptop and i after downloading and using a registry cleaner i now can not print. i also can not download from game sites that download a program to download the game i can not update any of my programs either like windows updates or the time or my antivirus. they all say please connect to the Internet but i am connect.  i think this is a registry problem because i have no printer spooler program. i guess my question is there a way to fix it without using my cd-rom because it doesn't work either. i tried to restore but it wouldn't let me go back that far. anything you could tell me to help would be great. thanks in advance.

Answer
Sounds like you have some corruption in your Operating System.

Try running a Windows Repair Installation

You can follow the walkthrough here:
