Windows Registry Recovery: «One of the files containing the system’s registry data had to be recovered by one of a log or alternate copy. The recovery was successful»

Original title: Windows Registry Recovery

Running Windows XP SP3.

When starting Windows XP, I have the message: «One of the files containing the system’s registry data had to be recovered by one of a log or alternate copy. The recovery was successful»

After that, everything seems to be OK.

I test the harddrive with chkdsk and it is OK

I test the memory with memtest and it is OK

I have used many tools to check the registry and it seems to be OK. No errors were reported by these tools.

I have used also spybot and spyware doctor to clean the PC.

I also used the windows update to have the system up to date.

Everything seems to be OK but every time I started windows I have this message.

If the system used to work properly, what do you think might have changed on the system since the last time it did work properly?

What is your system make and model?

Do you now or have you ever had an HP printer installed and if so, tell us about it.

No HW changes since last time the system was working without the error. Only one new SW program installed XDMB, but I have already uninstalled it.

Intel i3 @ 3,07 GHz. Memory: 4 GB

Yes I have an HP printer. I experience some problems in the past with the printer SW (also reported in other microsoft forums). But now the printer is working fine.

What kind of HP Printer do you have?

Describe your current antivirus and anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc.

I have never personally seen or fixed this one, but have read about it and it is in my notes for some reason. (hence my asking about this HP printer).

My interpretation is that some HP Printers have a HP Cue Device Discovery Service (my HP printer setup does not) that could be malfunctioning at startup.

In spite of the error, the printer seems to work just fine and since you have had some printer problems in the past (which I cannot find here) maybe there is still some problem there.

If you look in the Event Viewer System log at the time of the failure, you might find a recent event with clues along those lines and it may be accompanied by another event from the IPSec Service.

Disabling one or both of Services doesn’t seem to help, but uninstalling all of the HP printer software, rebooting (do you still have the issue after uninstalling the HP software and rebooting) and then reinstalling the HP software from scratch seems to have worked for some folks in the same boat.

If you do see the HP Cue Device Discovery errors in the Event Viewer System log, I would like to see them and here is how to post those individual events back here:

Look in the Event Viewer for clues around the time of the incident

Here is a method to post the specific information about individual events.

To see the Event Viewer logs, click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer.

A shortcut to Event Viewer is to click Start, Run and in the box enter:

Click OK to launch the Event Viewer.

The most interesting logs are usually the Application and System logs.

Some logs such as Security and Internet Explorer may be completely empty or have only a few items. The default
settings for XP is not to log all that activity unless you need to troubleshoot some issue in those areas. If you enable the logging for them the logs fill up quickly and could negatively effect your system performance with all the extra (usually unnecessary) activity.

If you have Microsoft Office installed, it has its own logs and they may be empty or occasional boring activity or very little activity if there is no problem with your Office applications. This is normal.

Not every event is a problem, some are informational messages that things are working okay and some are warnings.

However, no event should defy reasonable explanation.

Each event is sorted by Date and Time. Errors will have red Xs, Warnings will have yellow !s. Information messages have white is. Not every Error or Warning event means there is a serious issue. Some are excusable at startup time when Windows is booting. Try to find just the events at the date
and time around your problem.

If you double click an event, it will open a Properties window with more information. On the right are black up and down arrow buttons to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two pages on top of each other is used to copy the event details to your Windows clipboard.

When you find an interesting event that occurred around the time of your issue, click the third button under the up and down arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, Paste or CTRL-V) the detail text back here for analysis. Remove any personal information from your information after pasting if you are compelled to do so.

If you paste an Event, it will look something like this boring system startup event:

Event Category: None
