Asus update v7.0401 not installing, getting error message..please help!

[Digital_Trans]

Would anyone here know how to correct the problem when trying to install
Asus live update software on a computer that's running Creative X-Fi Hardware/Software? on Windows XP Pro? I recall sometime ago, there was a registry setting that needed to be modify/corrected in order for the Asus live update software to work correctly in conjunction with Creative Labs software. Would anyone please repost that forum thread on NV News? or would someone please post a step by step guide in detail on how to modify the Windows XP registry so that I can install the Asus Live update software utility? Thank you! :)

I guess the only question now is, how do I change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\aWow6432Node


I was trying to rename the folder from Wow6432Node to aWow6432Node but, when I do I get the following error message...any suggestions? :( I'm trying to update to the latest bios version but can't because the Asus update software has conflicts with Creative Labs software. Once someone can give me direction I'll be okay. I'v done this fix in the past but totally forgot how to.

Well, if you do know then be effective and vocal about it here. You might be helping someone besides me you know.

[Digital_Trans]

Problem fixed! Oh now what do you do if you delete the folder Wow6432Node that's in the Windows XP registry?
This was done by mistake. Is there away to restore the Wow6432Node registry folder?
I'm running Windows XP Pro perfectly..but, I'm not sure how long before something could happen. Am I talking to myself LMAO~! (nana2)

Export just the aWow6432Node folder to a REG file, open it in notepad and replace \aWow6432Node with \Wow6432Node, save it, and double click on it to import it to the registry.

Didn't you read what I wrote? by mistake, I completely deleted the Wow6432Node folder that's in the Windows XP registry. How do I restore the folder back into the Windows XP registry without having to do a complete new format to the hard drive? :D This is what I need you help on at the moment.

you backed the registry up before you decided to touch it right?? Cause only a moron would mess with the reg and not back it up first

No, I didn't backup anything. My computer is still running perfectly.
I'll do a restore install if I have to so I'm not worried. Anyway, that's all end of story......

Well, you! and WarheadMM don't have to be all rude about this topic. Out of any member on here, you guys have to call out on me and act like a bunch of a$$es. I mean yes, I screwed up and so I'll learn from it. Rome wasn't built in day!!!! :) I know what your trying to say in words I won't use on here. Anyway, I fixed the problem on my own and I didn't need your solicited advice to do it.

[wastedd]

It would seem your the one with the problem of being an ass as you chose to ignore the advice that was given to you by us in gsa when you came asking for help.
And besides isint that how you always are in gsa "an ass" ;)

Thank you for your help and positive approach to my problem.
I downloaded that file you posted, however, I'm not understanding or clear on
the *.reg, and double click what am I renaming with this file and how to I rename it? Please be more detailed? because at the moment the file is on my desktop just setting there. Please advise...thank you! :)

No problem, this is a known problem between Asus Update an creative software, let´s go,open with notepad the downloaded file and go to file>save as.. then select in File type "all files", and rename to Wow6432Node.reg, you must put the complete name with extension included. After saved, do double click in the new created file and it will says something like "do you like to add this key to the registry?", click on yes and that´s all.

Hope this is more clear, I attached a screenshot for visual help.
