System Registry

Hi

I'm not sure I understood 'hidden firewall'. Why isn't your modem working
properly? How far back have you tried with SR - to a point before the
problem started?

| This is helping me with another problem. I have a buddy who has retail
version of XP Home on a drive that crashed. He can not find the product
key. I am trying to do a clean install on a new dive, but first I need to
retrive his key. I can get at the file on his crashed drive, but it will
not boot.

drive, over the files in a new installation, and restore to his original
registry? If this would work, I think I can retreive his original product
key. Thanks

Hi Dave

Can you access Windows via Safe Mode?

| I have this keyfinder and it works great. My problem now is that I can
not boot with the registry that has the key that I need to get with the
keyfinder. I need to get the registry off of the drive that won't boot and
onto a drive that will so that I can use the keyfinder. I am not there yet.
