13/08/16- Today's PC fixing

Hey guys whats up.

So today was the day I finally got around to sorting out the PC that has been sitting in my room for the best part of the last two and a half weeks. The PC belongs to a family members relation and has been on my to do list for way to long.

Anyway so some background. I had this computer a while back as issues were being had that resulted in me having to wipe and do a fresh install of windows. Pretty simple stuff. I don't actually recall the reason behind the fresh install I just know that's what it took to fix it. Fast forward to present day and the owner is no longer able to login. repeatedly receiving a User unable to logon error message. After a quick search I learnt that the user file was corrupted.

Having never dealt with this I googled some sites which were very helpful in fixing this issue however I will be doing a follow up to this post probably tomorrow explaining the how-to of it in detail. But in short it involved messing with some naming and values in the registry file while in safe mode in order to get that fixed up. The PC will be returning soon and hopefully it will be the last I see of it. However I'm not sure that will be true.

But if you are interested in the full breakdown of how I got things sorted I'm gunna make a post with pictures explaining that in over the next few days so stay tuned for that. I was hoping for that to be this post but we ended up being out to late playing pokemon for me to get a properly detailed how-to with pictures but it will happen.

But that's it I'm afraid my tech adventures for today were not incredible but I have a fair few ideas for later entries so I'll keep posting daily

Cheers
