Hi Guys Got Some PC Issues Here, Not sure what to do, i Know i can Depend on My Simming Buddies For Help
(Sorry Admin For Posting This, if i'm out of line Please Remove and Accept My Apoligies) :-[

Recently i Downloaded Some Registery Cleaners(Not Sure Which Ones But I can Recover the List From the Trash)
Anyhoo, i proceeded to Clean the Computer with Said Cleaners and Restarted,
All Good so Far untill i noticed some Strange Behaviour,
First Being that my Desk top icons have all alligned to Grid and no matter what i do to Seperate them to the Left or Right as soon as i Refresh the Desktop they all snap back to the Left, i have not changed any of the auto allign or snap to Grid stuff on the Desktop,so cant figure it out,
Next, when i open i-Tunes it Says that it is not the Default Audio Player, and when i check the Box to Make it so it says that i do not Have enough access privileges to do so, even though i am the sole user of the Computer, so i tried to Resore the Computer to a Previous Restore Point and even though it Does shut down and begins the Restore Proccess as soon as it Restarts it says that the Computer Can not Restore to that point and to choose another point which i have done right back as far as April still no Joy'
Anybody have Any Idea what could be Causing this Problem??

Is your operating system Vista

If it is,  I guess it is too late to tell you NOT to use any registry cleaners.  Vista is too new for there to be any that are safe.

I used a registry cleaner - which meant for me, I had to go back through a clean reinstall of Vista.  A costly lesson.

If you are being challenged for admin rights, you can go in and disable User Administrative Control.  Go through control panel and follow the steps.

Once you post your operating system there are a number of kind technically capable people I am sure can help you.

Did you save any backups of your old registry? It's a good move to do so.

Good luck.
