Hi geoffclarke :)

My name is Aura and I'll be assisting you with your issue. Follow the instructions below please.

Retrieving the COMPONENTS Hive
Follow the instructions below to retrieve your COMPONENTS Hive and send me it.

• Open your Windows Explorer, and navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder;
• In this folder, find the COMPONENTS file (there's no extension), and copy it to your Desktop;
  Note: If you receive an error message saying that the COMPONENTS file is in use, restart your computer and try again. If the error message persist, let me know.
• Right-click on it, and select Send to... and choose Compressed (zipped) folder;
• Upload the file on Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive and post the download URL for it here;
