basically seems the registry has been corrupted
-----------------------
For a fresh install you seem to be having many problems, have you tested your drive to see if it is failing?
I just gave and installed ait fresh installsomething is causing all these problems, I have reinstall lots of times and there are never any errors,
did you do the solution in the links to recover the corrupted registry?
I do not use system restore, I use ERUNT to back up and restore my registry.
You might try system restore from Safe Mode, I always found that it worked better from there.
when I reinstall I install my av before I ever connect to the internet and run a scan. That way my av has a baseline on my pc and is clean.
and the first page you should visit after a reinstall is microsoft updates, until you are fully updated, a virus can occur quicker.
do you have home or pro xp? registry fix will work for home, since it does not have a group policy console.
Turn off Autoplay and autorun:
1. HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
2. If necessary create a dword called NoDriveTypeAutoRun
(right click on Explorer, choose NEW, choose DWORD, in box type NoDriveTypeAutoRun exactly, no spaces, capital letters act as spaces.)
3. Set the dword thus:NoDriveTypeAutoRun = 000000FF
(when you are done typing, click in a clear spot, then double click on the new dword and in the box type the 0000000ff, hex, or choose the decimal for 255)
4. A value of 000000FF (decimal 255) disables AutoRun on all drives.
5. There is no need to logoff; the NoDriveTypeAutoRun setting should take effect straightaway
THE following can be used in pro, I do both the registry fix and the group policy fix.
Click Start, click Run, typeGpedit.msc in the Open box, and then click OK. Under Computer Configuration, expand Administrative Templates, and then click System. In the Settings pane, right-click Turn off Autoplay, and then click Properties.
===========
also when I reinstall before I go online, I run portup on my pc to get 2/3 of my updates installed offline, so that there are not too many updates to get from microsoft updates:
http://www.portableupdate.com/
you have to do the first search online, it will download a couple of downloads first and then it will tell you what is installed and what you need, then you just check all the updates (even ones installed) and have portup download them, you should save the portup download to a flash drive (at least 4gb) and run the search from there, portup will save the downloaded updates to a cache folder on the flash drive, and when you reinstall then you can plug in the drive, run portup again with a search, it will search your pc, (offline) and you can check all the ones you want to install, (lengthy but worth it.)
Also before I reinstall I wipe my disk with dban, at least 3 passes to thoroughly wipe the drive,
Well my pentium 4 ht computer is kinda fastthat was pretty quick, it normally takes me about 14 hours to install everything and run all the scans and defrag, the next time I am going to clone my system when I have made it fresh, I am reading up on Macrium Reflect to see how this is done.
