Resolved Windows Repair All in One problem

Evan,

I downloaded and tried to run your guide to fixing XP as I have a few different problems... All was going OK until a message cropped while installing:

Irsetup.
Encountered a sharing violation while accessing C:\Program Files\Tweaking.com\WindowsRepair(AllinOne)\files\regfile\file_assocation\7\drive.reg

Any idea how to correct or work around this Appreciated

 

it started "installing files" after about 3 the message came up ...happened so fast couldn't see what file it was uo to.... no chance to continue or bypass the "irsetup" message

 

I tried the Portable Version and it downloaded fine, it checked that all the files I needed were there...think it was 449 and they were... then it said it will do a proper re-start and proceeded to do so.... when my pc re-started.... nothing happens automatically so I have to click on the program icon again (which was placed on my desktop) and it does the exact same thing.... 3 o4 times now... I'm just going around in a circle and not getting anywhere with it.

When it restarts - should it not go straight into the program? I tried to by-pass the restart by click the next option (2) at the top but it goes too quickly to restart ...then as I said above.

 

Did the same thing in Safe Mode and Safe Mode with Networking I tried both several times and it restarts back to my regular Desktop. Same again when I tried Safe Mode C: and entered the url. In all it starts up OK and checks 449 files... then a couple of other things (very quickly) then re-starts (back to desktop)
Think I'll give up on this, wasted far too much time already - is there anything else that would check out XP for errors.

I have two XP Desktops that I don't use any more but I'd like to get them running to get files off of them. The one I have been trying is soooo slow.... and the other one has the DBoD - that's another story.

Never thought I'd say this but |I have two laptops both running Windows 10 without problems (except initially when I re-set one)

Thanks for your assistance.

 

OK Evan, will give those a try. Thanks so much. Should I mark this as resolved. Not sure when I'll get around to the latest suggestions.
