  1. can I do this to save uo my documents and restore it after I format my PC?
  2. You can also use command prompt
  3. My metro is not working, do u think this will help? It won't let me use the windows 8 search function or even go to the start menu!
  4. Thank you! I am struggling to find my way around in Window 8.
  5. Hi i have a question. I have windows 8.1 and I recently used a registry cleaner without backup. now the apps in my laptop doesn't work properly. Is there a way where i can restore my old registry even without backup?
  6. Yes, that should mean it was succesful.
  7. Hello, my guess is that Ccleaner took out something it shouldn't have. You have to be very careful when you are cleaning or editing the registry.
  8. Hello, I have a registry back up that I made before cleaning it using ccleaner. I want to restore the back up, however I get an error saying that there is an error accessing the registry. What's going on?
  9. Try running updates and see if that doesn't help, let me know. You could also go into Computer Management and uninstall/reinstall the driver. If you need help with Computer Management, let me know.
  10. You could also try to run a check disk on the USB. Go to My Computer>Properties>tools>check now. Believe it or not this has worked for me in the past. Your USB may be corrupt if you didn't remove if it safely. Make sure to always remove it safely instead of just yanking it out, not saying you did this, but just in case. If you pull the USB while it is still busy then the files will be corrupt.
  11. Unfortunately if it is saying it is corrupted there may not be much you can do about it. You might be able to do a system recovery, of course this isn't going to work on your backup. If you have lost anything important on that backup there are a few good programs out there that will attempt to recover lost data, my favorite is Recuva. I haven't had this happen so I'm not sure what the correct answer would be.
  12. Thanks! Is there a way I can get an original windows 8 registry to install? I created a clean back up to a USB the first day I purchased my computer, but when I went to restore it, it said it was corrupted. I just want to restore my reg
