After attempting to install the Service Pac 2, regMech totally shutts down
the MS One Care fireall, &WILL Not allow the BTS to remain ON. This happened
on this VISTA/VIAO platform only. Our PC, with XP can run REG MECH and get
AUTO UPDATES without shutting down anything.
REG MECH is totally gone form OS now. There's $29.95 gone to cyber space!!

recently, I went back and 'hid' the last 2 security updates for VISTA, but
installed the new VISTA OS Platform. Then attempting to re-install the 2
hidden updates, both error codes 643, 646 appeared.
Ive installed the MS Removal tool pertaining to the repair for these
two.......found nothing.

Bad install? Corrupt download?? REG MECH have anything to do with any of
this??

Anyone?

Difficult to know what damage RegMechanic did to your sys - IMO all such
'reg fix' tools are snake oil and should be avoided.
However a tad confused by your ref to "installed the new VISTA OS Platform"

First, never use registry cleaners, second, try reposting in something that
resembles the English language so we can actually figure out what your
talking about, your post is confusing at best.

It's probably all Registry Mechanic's fault. If possible, undo
everything it's done. If you can't do that, it's possible that you may
not have any other recourse than reinstalling Windows from scratch.

Get rid of Registry Mechanic. It, and all other programs like it, are
junk, useless at best, and dangerous at worst. Here's my standard
message on the subject of registry cleaners:

Registry cleaning programs are *all* snake oil. Cleaning of the
registry isn't needed and is dangerous. Leave the registry alone and
don't use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and
what vendors of registry cleaning software try to convince you of,
having unused registry entries doesn't really hurt you.

The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneously
removing an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefit
it may have.
