Windows 10: Changed OEMCP in registry from 437 to 1252 and my pc refuses to boot.

My cmd was outputting gibberish in cmd so I searched the internet and someone said to change OEMCP from 437 to 1252 and I did that, after rebooting windows didn't start. Changed registry manually in recovery tools cmd reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage" /v OEMCP /t REG_SZ /d 437 /fBut this didn't help. I have no regedit backup and I also want to avoid resetting pc.

:)

 

Is the sharp AL-1252 printer compatible with windows 10

I have an old Sharp AL-1252 Laser Printer - is this compatible in any form with Windows 10?

If not have you a suggestion what driver I can try.

Thanks

I would like to know some information.

  Have you taken a backup of all your data?
  

I would suggest you to take a backup of all your data before doing any changes in the registry keys. If you do any incorrect changes to the registry you won’t be able to boot the computer.
