After installing the latest version i am trying to run Aida64 extreme edition, to find the mising drivers. But it seems i can not even open any programs. The few i have tried give the error: Windows cannot access the specified device,path, or file, you may not have the apropriate permissions to access them. This happens with control panel and any .exe i try to load. What could it be? Should i try a fresh install? I did get a few error messages during install

with this version of Win XP SP3 I can't load any external HDDs with Malwarebytes Anti-malware installed. They worked fine with XP SP2, but not June 2011 or Jan 2012 SP3 by Maher. Anyone know how to get these external HDDs to boot with Mbam and this SP3?

(Microsoft Windows XP Professional  5.1.2600.3.1252.44.1033.18.2047.1430)

CAUSE:-- This problem can occur if there are corrupted or incorrect keys in the registry.

RESOLUTION:-- Clean your registry with Advanced System Optimizer or Ccleaner or any other registry cleaners, but make sure to first make a backup of your current registry block.
if still your problem is not fixed
download Microsoft fix it and run the program for errors.
if still problem persists reply here
GOOD LUCK VIC.

I cleaned about 27 errors in the registry cleaner in Ccleaner, but it made no difference. My external HDDs ONLY freeze when Malwarebytes antimalware is installed, but the EXACT same version was fine in WinXP SP2. It's only stopping my external HDDs from booting in SP3. If I uninstall mbam, they boot again. But the problem is this SP3, because the same version of Mbam worked with my HDDs in SP2.

Is Ccleaner's registry cleaner the only one you use? That one's very weak and finds very few errors. By all means download an industrial strength registry cleaner and use it regularly. There are tons of them and they're all over the torrents. I'm currently using Raxco Perfect Registry, but I keep about 5 more in stock, just in case.

Keep in mind the Windows registry is nothing more than a huge landfill where tons and tons of garbage are kept there. All that's loaded into memory when you boot up.

I stopped using registry cleaners years ago because they can sometimes cause some serious problems, all for the sake of maybe speeding up your computer (a little). If I knew exactly which registry error to fix/clean, I'd do it, but I have no idea what's causing this problem.


Registry is a very complex and delicate thing. What constitutes an "error" in it is very much a subjective call--for example, many of what get called "registry errors" are things that look like stray keys...but which are, in fact, still serving some essential purpose. They may be tagged to a piece of software that you no longer have installed, for example...but are also being used (perhaps without appropriate documentation) by other programs or functions as well--and "cleaning" them will cause them all to crash at your feet.
A lot of experts don't advise touching the registry at all, if there's any way you can possibly avoid it. There's just too much that can go wrong, and leave you with a mess you could format your hard drive and reload before you'd ever straighten out. So I'd run, don't walk, in the opposite direction from this hack job you've come across, and if you absolutely must do some housekeeping on your registry, trust it to Norton!

You know, I don't recall an occasion where a registry cleaner has caused me a problem. I think you were using a bad one. If the registry didn't get dirty and full of garbage, I don't think there'd be so many cleaners available.
