    Cleaning the registry after HDD failure


    HiI have a Z Book with a small primary drive, and a 1TB Secondary drive.Due to the small primary drive I install most of the programs on the secondary drive.Unfortunately, this secondary drive has failed. It has been replaced with a new SSD drive.The problem is, I cannot use the uninstall program to reinstall the programs, as it can't find the installation script from the original install on the failed drive.This is causing serious speed issues and generally painful use of the machine.Is there anyway I can clean up the registry and get the programs reinstalled again??Thanks.

    :)

    Hi Johan,

    It is possible that your
    HDD was unreadable
    causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:


    • Shutdown
      your
      PC.

    • Unhooked
      the
      HDD
      and
      turn on
      your
      PC.

    • Reconnect
      your
      HDD
      and
      restart
      your
      PC.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
    laptop/computer's manufacturer
    for further assistance.

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.

    Problem with APK Registry Cleaning Engine 2002++ SR-7

    Everytime I try and start APK Registry Cleaning Engine 2002++ SR-7 I get this really slow window that starts to open. The program itself says it running but it looks more like a virus or something (I know its not). I downloaded it from the download section. Any suggestions?
