One of the problems in messing with(manual editing)the registry is that entries can be "threaded", in that one entry refers to another. The "referral" can be based on a seemingly random long number and letter combination's. This complicates manually locating and editing related entries in different sections of the registry. If that isn't enough, "legacy" drivers can place entries and data in places used by earlier windows versions. Windows may then copy, modify, or add data to use the legacy driver. Things can go awry during this process, or a later driver install may not completely remove all the obsolete entries in the registry. This is usually a sure recipe for trouble. |
