I have to repair W7, some registry settings are bad.
My question is: is it posible to repair the W7 part, without formating and new install it ?
I would use the MAC, but my wife refused to change her style 🙂 what can I do ?
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.5), null
If you using BootCamp try also posting in the BootCamp forum

Yes. It is possible to Repair Registry settings. Is W7 bootable at this point?

There is not much assistance that the Apple Support Community can provide on this matter. 😉. We can provide only technical support, based on ASC ToU.
To Loner T:
Yes the W7 normaly runs, but some problems are not repairable.
For instnace tne network service is disturbed, no shares are wisible, the earleir W7 check points are not reachable .... etc.
I am now not sure if a new fresh install of W7 with Boot Camp will be not the best way?
Thanks
Was a Windows Update the last step? It can download drivers which may not work for the Mac.
Are both Wired and Wireless networks not working?
to Loner T
in my opinion it was not a case with the updates W7.
I am using a NAS 500TB as an external drive, and 3 other PC on the local net ( home )
After some suddenly power crashing in the house the main Router ahs to be changed.
Only the MiniMac was on power. The rest of maschines ( other W7, a Linux Mint notebook, an Ipad ! were not touched.
Now the sharing and local network function on Mac Mini are out of order.
I started the Mac on Apple OS, all is running well even the sharings, the NAS is visible.
So far my experiences 🙂
sorry forget you question:
The W7 on MacMini has internet connection on Wire and Wireless input as well
Usually, the main router acts a server which distributes IP addresses via DHCP. If it crashes or has to be rebooted, there is no record of IP addresses assigned to the machines. Each machine that joins the network has to request it again. The Mac mini will also request an IP address, if asked, in System Preferences -> Network. A reboot will also execute the same function. If the W7 on Mac mini was not rebooted, or the IP address was not renewed then the W7 on Mini would have a possible address conflict causing network traffic problems.
Switching between OS X and Windows is the same as a reboot.
Dear Loner T
thanks fór your effort.
I am clear with WAN and LAN rules, and things around them. ☺️ .
I mean in Windows system.
My only question was, if it is possible to repair the W7 systém on dualboot MacMini without a total inštall proces with Boot Camp.
thanks one more
If the issue is related to NAS access, switch to Windows and check if you can access your NAS, before you consider any repairs. You should not need a re-installation of W7.
Hi Loner T
NAS directories, and all other shares from the rest of PC on lokal network are invisible, and not reachable from MacMini
Also MacMini is invisible on local network.
Al the rest of computers runs well on local network.
Also Firewal settings are OK
😟
On the OS X side, visibility is configured using System Preferences -> Sharing. On the Windows side, if you know the IP addresses of the devices you want to "see", can you ping them? This will show that at least network connectivity exists. Protocol level connectivity can be debugged next. Usually, Windows Firewall causes issues with sharing resources. Has this sharing worked in the past? If yes, and since you router was replaced, is it blocking ports which allow sharing to work.
You may also want to look at TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products - Apple Support.
