After using regcure, windows installer automatically starts at start up. System restore will not work anymore. What is your suggestion to clear this up?

... restore the registry to what it was before RegCure did its thing.
This can probably be accomplished in Safe Mode (hit the F8 key repeatedly while booting).

You'll also have the option to 'Use Last Known Good Configuration' at the boot menu. You may want to try that first.

Once you have things back to normal, uninstall RegCure!

for running Regcure. Did your PC have a problem.

Restart your computer and press [F8] during the initial startup.
When you see the Windows Advanced Options Menu, select the Safe Mode with a Command Prompt option.
Select the Windows XP operating system.
Log on to your computer with an administrator account or with an account that has administrator credentials.
Type the following command at a command prompt:
C:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
Follow the onscreen instructions to restore your computer to an earlier state.

How and Where System Restore Points are saved:

Restore points are saved in under x:\system volume information\_restore{558C94FD-3C7F-4954-A02D-
26679E6D849E}. Each restore point's files are saved in a folder named RPXX where XX is a two digit number
corresponding to the restore point.

In Regcure go to "settings" (General) and tick ALL the boxes. This will now (if you start it) do a restore point, and will keep a log (and restore points) in a list of which you can see in the "back up" section of regcure.
