From: Gabriel Knight on 7 Jun 2010 11:49 Ok all, im using Norton Internet Security 2010 that has Norton Utilities its been updated and works fine but only detects some errors like about 20-30 files. Im not to sure about using any reg cleaners as from the ones Ive tried in the past few days, has some how disabled some sounds for win xp eg: when I click on a link there is no sound now and a couple of others. I dont want to uninstall IE7 just yet to see if that works as im waiting 2 weeks to do that. I did do a safe mode boot with networking enabled but I didnt want to see if IE7 closes as I had no way to enable my Norton firewall as this would be to unsafe. Is there a way to make a copy of the registry and then do a reg clean and if problems occur can I use the backed up one? Thanks GK "Gabriel Knight" <FakeEmail(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:9w6Pn.1616$Ls1.416(a)news-server.bigpond.net.au... > Hi all, Im having problems with internet explorer 7, Ive used my norton to > do a registry clean but it dosnt get as many detectable errors in the > registry as some online programs do.

I would never run a "registry cleaner" on any of them. -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that.
