Stuck Registry Key Crashes computer (bsod)
I have ONE problem only! I use XP pro. After much work, I figured out the excact problem. Whenever I do any type of scan on my registry (virus scan, reg cleaner, etc... EVEN IF I DID A SIMPLE SEARCH FOR A STRING IN REGEDIT!) I would get the BSOD with a PAGE_FAULT.
I figured out that the excact registry string that triggers the bsod is:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVesion\Shar edDLLs
(The folder itself). (Any search would suddenly crash and I never saw where the search was holding in the registry, so what I did was video tape my computer screen from the start of a registry scan until the bsod crash
and replayed the video until the last frame before the crash and saw that the above registry key was it. I manualy opened regedit and went there... and what do you know? As soon as I clicked on it to see the keys and values on the right side... yes, BSOD!
I NEED to see the keys inside this "SharedDlls!!" to figure out what the problem is!
I thought of using the "real mode" regedit with the /e to copy the registry to a text file but that doesn't work with the XP hives. Even if I DO know what key to delete... I can't access it from windows - not even safe mode
- because I get the bsod as soon as I try to access that registry spot. Even in dos I can't run the "scanreg" because I get "Windows found an error in your system files and was unable... bla bla bla".
HOW CAN I ACCESS THE SOFTWARE HIVE FROM DOS AND COPY THE HIVE TO A TEXT FILE that I can later change to a .reg file and reconstruct the registry?
Thank you.
