Hello!
I am Alex,

I have a problem with windows registry... how?? i'll tell you how i managed how to make them not to work.

Long time ago, i have installed MySQL for a game server, but i forgot the password i've seted on database.
Last week i decided to reinstall MySQL and Navicat for MySQL... but i couldn't create a database and i got manny errors abot password and incorect password. i searched on google and i've found a crap forum where an "computer expert" <_< gave me an easy solution... that to unninstall MySQL and delete MySQL from registry. i did like this:
- after i unninstalled, I gone in Start/Run/Regedit/HKET_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services => here i found MySQL folder and i deleted, without backup. Since than, after i reinstall it, i cant run MySQLInstanceConfig till the end... (i mean i run it, and when i press Execute or Install he will load about 60% and then "Not Responding")
I am not an expert but I think this is because i deleted MySQL from registry... or not?? :bashhead:

There is something i can do to make MySQL database work, without reinstalling windows??
Pls HELP! :help:

Thank you verry much and pls excuse my bad english :D

Have you tried a simple SFC to see if the file can be repaired or replaced?




Go HERE and read the tutorial that shows how to do SFC or System File Checker and running in a Elevated Command Prompt in Vista and Win7.
