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?

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.
