Registry key loss

[UNISOL]

After a recent registry clean the AutoCad regostry key(s) was changed/delete and thge applicaiton is asking for a re-install.

Is there any way to restore the key(s)? with reinstall?

Have a screen shot of the error message ...

You can try System Restore before reinstall autocad.

Looked at system restore and it seems that the restore point is at the MS updates I did yesterday ... if I restore I'll lose the updates but that also suggests that the updates might have caused the change/deletion ...?  The list of applications that would be affected by the retore does not include the registry clean application I used ...

Didn't find a suitable solution so I re-installed AutoCAD.  Problem solved.

There is your problem....

It's faster to just reinstall than recover, depending on your priorities.
