registry audit

[tomyrush]

I am afraid that I messed up my registry on XP-sp3 with all ms fixes applied.

Does anyone know of a package or a procedure to audit the registry so I can see if I "Hosed" it?

I have tried going back a couple of weeks to the system restore points, but as it checks stuff I get a screen saying that no system changes have been made so it won't complete.

Thanks
Tom

You might want to do something more sophisticated than this, but CCleaner (freeware, just google it) has a registry cleaner. Don't know if that fits your pistol for this problem, though.

I will try it

There is a step after the scan and before the clean up where you can make a backup of the registry.

DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!

OK

Evidently the problem was isolated to only a few entries - I think I fixed them
