You can also insert the installation disc(windows 7) from then on repair/upgrade your pc.Be sure to back up data.

registry key/ product key are actually the same.
Windows registry means something different.

And what is your OS?

you could try to repair windows by the installation disk.They would give you an option of repair/upgrade.

However i think sometimes you could try to do the fixing method again just clarify it doesnt work.

i never got an installation disk with this just a disc from dell with drivers and utilities, i have tried to use that but it's not helping. when it says missing files in registry cleaner am i supposed to click fix problems ?

 

[ghnader hsmithot]

click fix problems

 

[ize2000]

click fix problems

ok, i clicked fixed problems on missing files and it says fixed registry problems, and it scans again after that and it comes up the 4 problems that it said it fixed are still there

oh..
I have to go to sleep now.Its about 5am in my region.
If you want you can wait for me to post a better solution however i cant guarantee it would work or you can go to the dell/hp/acer etc service center to fix it.

I am using this one most of the time.
You could try it.

which apps reg key did you delete? if its a windows 1 than load up the last good config. this doesnt need a restore point to work.
running sfc /scannow will fix most windows components but you must either have a restore partition and a repair disk or a windows boot disk.
if its for an installed app just reinstall it ir may let you run a repair from the msi installer in which case the regkey will be replaced.
