How To Fix Registry Errors Windows 7
Nadia Summerhill
Sometimes, however, it is necessary to fix registry issues instead of just performing cleanup. For example, if you have ever encountered a piece of malware, you know that it can completely mess up your registry and disrupt your work.
To uncover issues with your registry that might be affecting your computer, perform a Windows registry scan using the Windows Registry Checker tool. The process will provide detailed data on all the registry errors discovered and how to fix registry errors.
It is also important to track changes to your registry. In particular, malware often changes registry startup keys so it will start automatically after each reboot. You can learn more in this guide about detecting modifications to startup items in the Windows registry.
When I start my computer, Windows 98 report an error has occurred in the registry. Hit continue to repair registry. It repairs the registry and starts windows OK, but the next time I start the computer the same error occurs. Help.
Run System File Checker and Scanreg
Run System File Checker
On your screen, locate and click the Start button. From the Start menu, point to Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then click System Information.
In the Microsoft System Information window, click Tools, and then click System File Checker.
Run Scanreg
On your screen, locate and click the Start button. From the Start menu, click Shut Down. In the Shut Down Windows dialog box, click Shut Down the Computer, then click Yes.
After the computer has been shut down, turn on the computer and begin pressing the CTRL key in one-second intervals. If you perform this step correctly, the Windows 98 Startup menu appears. If Windows loads normally, restart the computer again, andthen press the CTRL key in one-second intervals until the Startup menu appears.
If a damaged registry is not detected, the Good Registry dialog box is displayed. If this is the case, try restoring a previous backup by following the procedure beginning in the next step. If a damaged registry is detected, it should have been fixed so the next steps are not necessary.

I did screw around with deleting Java directories and registry a few days ago. I restarted computer and java was still working fine, then i restarted it again today and now I get this error. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that doesn't seem to work. I have the latest java JRE installed and the path set in the environment variables. Anyone have any clue how to fix this?
You will find a folder named "Oracle" on ProgramData folder in your windows installed drive. Remove the folder. Hope it will work.In my case my install drive is C and my path is C:\ProgramData\Oracle
I had a similar problem. I had installed JDK7 update 1 but couldn't use it (probably because I found a JRE6 that I deleted after installing JDK7). Uninstalling JDK7 was impossible. The solution was to add the JRE registry entries by hand.
On Windows 10 I had just installed the JDK, and got these errors when checking the version. I had to delete all executable files starting with java (i.e. java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe) from C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath. And then, once deleted, re-run the JDK installer, restart my terminal program and java -v works.
I looked in the registry after reading this post and there was no ...\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\ key so I added each with their respective string values pointing to my x86 version (PDFsam is a 32bit program). This got past the first problem but an error popped up about amd64 libraries suggesting the machine wanted to run the 64bit version. So I changed the paths to the 64bit JRE and PDFsam now works.
FYI - I got here by searching for Java registry keys after I was unable to launch javaw.exe from command prompt (even after adding the requisite paths to system path), making the aforementioned changes solved this as well.
I got this kind of error whe nI had JDK 1.7 before and I installed JAVA JDK 1.8 and pointed my JAVA_HOME and PATH variables to JAVA 1.8 version. When I try to find the java version I got this error. I restarted my machine, and it works . It seems to be we have to restart the machine after modifying the environment variables.
I have Windows 7. I got the same problem after installing: PyCharm.I wasn't satisfied with PyCharm, so I decided to use Eclipse instead. This is when I discovered that things went wrong with my JDK. I used to have Java.9.x. So I decided to uninstall it and get the newer version (at my time it was Java.11.x. The same problem persisted. I followed most of the steps mentioned above in the post like:- Removing all java*.exe files, - removing Java related entries from the registry. - Cleaning-up all unnecessary Java folders. However nothing helped. I still had something in the system referring to a broken Java pathname.
What really brought remedy is the following: - Uninstalled what ever version of JDK I had at the moment. - Re-Installed the last JDK version I had before the problem took place - Properly uninstall that version. - Install whatever latest version of SDK. ..
There was a Path variable under both User variables and system variables sections.For the one in user variables section, i added the string %JDK_HOME% - which translated automatically to the physical path.For the one under system variables, I deleted the path C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath and added C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-13.0.1\bin
The removal of cookies and fluff files, defrag etc I was able to deal with through Settings, though why they had to change a good system with Win 10, it had been working well for 20+ years I don't know.
The register is something fragile, the user should not touch it.
We can say that it is quite rare, but an error risks causing more or less serious problems.
For quite some time, it has become a fad, cleaning the registry, off, it is practically useless!
moreover, the software detects certain problems, but this is not at all effective
If you look carefully while browsing through a registry, after having "cleaned up the errors", we see that many keys, of software which no longer exist, are still present.
So it's up to you, but leave it alone!
My previous HP which I bought just before lockdown went into shut down mode everytime I turned it on as if it was overheating, it turned out to be a Registry fault, so had to be sent to a HP agent by the shop. They fixed , but between the shop and the carrier returning it to me they wrecked it mechanically, the casing was bent and buckled. After many emails and phone calls to the shop's head office, they refunded my money in full and collected the scrap computer, but not in that order.
So if I had paid the 59 extra to Norton it would have been wasted money, the other thing added to that which they used to do was remove junk files, after a bit of faffing I found I could do it myself, it was justbfinding where they had hidden the command screen that they had on Millenium 22 years ago. There have few if any usefull upgrades since then , but they have cut a lot of good programs out.
indeed, for me an antivirus, must stick to its primary function, to protect against viruses..
And they mostly have a bad habit of doing other things..
Many years ago Norton was known to be a big consumer of resources, well now with that, I'm afraid it's even worse, too many functions in the background, often useless
I gave up these antivirus a long time ago, and I only use the microsoft tool, which is free..
it is indeed my point of view, but i am quite careful, and i have not been infected for more than 20 years , if i do the account, i have certainly made a huge saving, since that time , without paid antivirus!
That is a fair point Promth, one does wonder if these companies are selling snake oil. And the wasted space they take up in your memory, much the same with Windows. A new machine may seem to have a lot of storage space, but you need it with the bloatware and stupid programs you cannot get rid of they add.
They give you a spine chilling story in their marketing blurb to persuade you that you need it. Even with it I haven't had any problems in 22 years since we have had a computer, the odd dodgy email which I have deleted straight away. I don't do anything financial with the computer, rather go in person to the bank. And I hate having to buy stuff on the internet( usually my last resort as its not in the shops) as you really don't know what you are getting until it comes, then it may not be of the correct quality you expected.
Yes, a friend said, and it is a truth that I have seen over all these years of trying to help people out.
"The problem most often lies between the chair and the computer"
Yes you are doing well, many people click without thinking on dubious emails..
We never say it enough, if in doubt, do not click, if it is supposedly the bank, call with your usual contact number
See you soon, maybe, if you need don't hesitate..
