System Restore is the same as a registry backup.

Yep.

And if that doesn't work then you can try taking a backup from another computer, but make sure it is only for the font hives.

But each computers registry is fairly unique.

Can you not just go back and undo the changes you made?

well this happened months ago and as it only affected the (change sound theme popup window) i was not to bothered.but now i want to change my sound theme
i cant restore too

i was thinking on getting a backup off my other computer witch is running vista ultimate but i only want the font backup.. as otherwise all my reg edits will go if i do a complete reg backup. how would i go about just getting the reg of the fonts from another computer? if i can that is

And people wonder why we advise against using a Registry Cleaner...


For future, you might want to try ERUNT & NTREGOPT.
ERUNT is a programme that will create automatic backups of your Registry. These backups can be used to help restore your system in the event of a serious crash. NTREGOPT will compact and optimise your Registry, to assist the smooth running of your system.
