  1. Cannot delete (stubborn) registry entry - every effort expended !


    I receive the following error message when i try to delete the AVG key (the program was installed erroneously as bundle ware by me who mistakenly tapped the accept button)

    Cannot delete (stubborn) registry entry - every effort expended ! [​IMG]

    When i try to change permissions this is what i get

    Cannot delete (stubborn) registry entry - every effort expended ! [​IMG]

    I have tried to delete in safe mode, have used regassassin, Deleteex and Regdelnull (command line) tools
    believe it or not i am not able to delete the entry with a registry editing tool on a bootup win PE CD either

    I am at the end of my wits and pulling my hair

    Anything else i can try?

    :)

  2. Windows Sockets registry entries required for network connectivity are missing.

    I tried steps like resetting winsock settings through Command prompt and deleting the registry entries. However, registry entries of winsock2 and winsock could not be deleted. On further steps of installing Adapter settings, I got a message that the steps
    could not be performed due to Group Policy settings. Please help.

    Miscellaneous Registry entries?

    W1zzard: Miscellaneous Registry entries?

    For W1zzard,

    *Respect :respect:

    What are the registry entry names and data types for the Miscellaneous entries:

    Currently selected Catalyst A.I. level, and Geometry Instancing Enabled?

    I can't find anything that looks like those that are defined in that registry key, and I have to manually set them everytime I reboot my PC. *Frown Cannot delete (stubborn) registry entry - every effort expended ! :(

    It would be nice to be able to keep them set across reboots. *Smile Cannot delete (stubborn) registry entry - every effort expended ! :)

    Or are they taken care in version 0.25b11? I'm currently using 0.24.
