Question

after installing RegZooka and running I have a error

by Dec 21, 2011 1:57AM PST

OS is windows vista latest service pack etc.
I install RegZooka to cleanup registry, after running and restarting computer I had one error message
"Program C:\Windows\system32\nvvsvc.exe
This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the applications support team for more information"

It has something to do with my Nvida video card setting. I restored the registry but would like to know how to stop this from occurring when running RegZooka. Thanks in advance, Gary

It's Why Most Don't Use Such Registry Cleaners
by Forum moderator Dec 21, 2011 5:10AM PST

Many remove files and entries that are "required" for normal running.. Since there are few, if any, unbiased tests of such registry cleaning tools, and we commonly see failures on these forums after using them, we don't recommend them.

Hope this helps.

A registry cleaner is a type of software utility designed for the Microsoft Windows operating system, the purpose of which is to remove redundant or unwanted items from the Windows registry.It is possible that the nVidia driver itself has become corrupted, rather than in the registry. If this is the case, ensure you are logged in to your computer as a system administrator and perform the following tasks:

It's implied by the OP that restoring the registry fixed the issue with the driver.

Your nickname seems to indicate that you're involved with that registry cleaner somehow. Then you might be in a position to find the bug in the cleaner in stead of providing non-solutions.
Until then (at least) the advice to dump the program stands.
