Of course, if successful, you would most likely lose Premium Booster, but you would have a restored registry.</p> <p>Before you do this, however, I would wait until someone else might have a better suggestion that would allow you to both fix the problem AND keep Premium Booster.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3223#post-28369 Sat, 03 May 2008 17:54:51 +0000 dbp 28369@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>PREMIUM BOOSTER 2.8 - Downloaded 5-3-08</p> <p>I downloaded this program and, like a smart techie (I wish) I started a backup of my registry (using the backup feature of this progam). The regitry backup process began okay and, of course, took awhile. </p> <p>While the backup was in progress, I saw the "Register" button at the top right corner of the program's window. I wondered why it was there, since the program's already registered (thank you, GAOTD). So, while the backup process was STILL RUNNING, I clicked on the "Register" button.</p> <p>The program went into "eternal hourglass mode" and I couldn't click on anything. I couldn't close it, abort the backup, nothing! I tried to do a soft restart (Ctrl-Alt-Del) but even that wouldn't work. So I shut down by pressing &#38; holding the power button.</p> <p>NOW - I reran the program and tried to restart the backup process, with a new filename for the backup. But as soon as I click "Start Backup" I get a message saying,<br /> "You do not have permission to access [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE ; Note: You should have permissions of System Administrator to do "Registry Backup" ; Do you want to abort the backup process? ; YES/NO"</p> <p>If I click "NO," I get the same message again, but with a different registry key listed. Continually clicking "NO" repeats the message continually, with different registry keys mentioned. My only option is to click "YES" (or, maybe click "no" until I run out of registry keys).</p> <p>Once I click "Yes" to abort the backup, I get a message saying "Registry has been successfully backed up." But of course it isn't, if only because I know it takes longer than a second or two to back up the registry.</p> <p>I've used RegEdit to make a real backup of the registry (export), but I only did that after all this happened, so it might not help. ALSO - The "backups" made by "Premium Booster" are empty - that is, the registry I used to back up to (their default "My Backups") now consists of a subdir called "User" with 4 child folders, all of which are empty (no hidden files, either).</p> <p>I'm logged onto an account with Administrator privileges, but it says I need "permissions of System Administrator." What is worrisome, though, is that this backup process seemed to work fine until I clicked the "Register" button during the first backup.</p> <p>Did I screw something up in the registry because the program wasn't idiot-proof?<br /> Any ideas as to how to fix this, so Premium Booster will back up the registry - and more important, work 100%?</p> <p>I could uninstall/reinstall "Premium Booster" to see if that fixes the problem, but I don't think it would and would like to see if others think it would before I go to the trouble.</p> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! </p>
