Posted October 21, 2014 recently i have been told by the Microsoft that i have corruptions in my registry. i have been told that you could repair the registry by inserting the windows disk and click repair. if so does that wipe everything of your laptop because i have allot work on my laptop. the disk i only have is the one from Samsung that says system recovery media.

Posted October 21, 2014 This^ Also, if it's a registry issue why not use CCleaner and fix it? CCleaner doesn't really fix major registry issues. it just cleans up broken paths that come from un/installing and moving stuff around. the registry can actually break and completely fuck shit up, but its not common and i very much doubt thats OPs problem. but with almost no information about the issue given who knows whats actually wrong.

Posted October 22, 2014 well according to the technician guy the corrupted registry had no name honestly that sounds like the tech has no idea what he's talking about. can we get more information on why you had to take it to a tech in the first place? we might be able to figure out whats actually going on.

Posted October 23, 2014 Microsoft only gives support if you either have a support Aggreement which you have paid extra for, Or you are part of Microsoft Premier which again is a corp thing which yes you pay for! Nobody from Microsoft said your Registry is broken without giving you guided instruction how to solve the issue.

Posted October 23, 2014 Microsoft no offers help by remote access your latop the scans show that my registry is fucked up Let me say this again. It was a fake caller from microsoft. Microsoft will NEVER call you. They couldn't care less if your pc is broken, they already got their money from you. If you let someone onto your pc, you need to follow the steps i showed you. Even if you didn't, you need to clean it.

Posted October 25, 2014 You got fooled. Scammed. A few friends and I have received similar calls from people say they are from Microsoft, and they detected and issues with your Windows PC. They can only help you if you give them remote access to your PC. They need to charge you $$$ to fix your PC, but you need to transfer money first. You need to check your PC for bugs / viruses NOW!!
