Sorry friend, but you're the only one to blame here.
Never heard of a full system backup before doing a major upgrade?
Lazyness..... lazyness....

Takes 10 minutes to backup your C:\ partition, if things go wrong another 10 minutes to put it back.
As many times as you want, and learn WHERE it goes wrong.

About RegCleaners.....
I think they might do more harm now then the could do any good..
(since a LOT isn't working anymore..... )

Not this one - see for yourself.
And, RegCompact.NET is not a cleaner. Think: registry defragger.
I've been using both for several years with no problems whatsoever.

True. It's not like there isn't plenty of utility CD's floating around with partition imaging tools on them.

windows default system restore does the trick. and no, don't start your story with "misfortune" about the system restore, it worked for absolutely anybody, flawlessly gazillion of times, except for you

btw if you are anxious about 'registry cleaners' you could search for "run" keys in regedit.exe for yourself. or run start->run thingie, type in msconfig and see the 'startup' items

I had the same piece of junk fortune 4 days ago, after installing some drivers for a cheap webcam. Had to re-install whole Windows again, took me 2 more days.
For once I agree with _.r.u.s.s., you use System Restore, you save yourself lots of anger.
