    Deleting the registry back up question.
    « on: October 08, 2012, 06:26:57 PM »
    I am looking for some opnions just trying to help a friend with her computer. Back in 08 her computer had a virus and the repair shop had to wipe her hard drive clean and they backed up everything and since then, she had a registry back up icon in her document folder and today she deleted it after reading it was ok to do so. And afterwards, she shut down her computer and couldn't get the destop to come up. She got to the screen asking what she wanted to do the typical start in safe mode, or normally, ect, she tried both and then screen would be full of no disk with file names next to and then back to asking to start normally or in safe mode ect. Any ideas what has happened? And what will fix it?thanks in advance.

        Deleting a backup shouldn't cause any problems, something else is going on.

          That's exactly why she deleted cause it is supposed to be ok.

            Thanks for the replies. The repair shop has it and said they would figure it out.
