Re: Regedit Won't Open

Greetings,

AUTOEXEC.NT and some other files seem to be corrupt or missing. Try
installing this program:
http://www.visualtour.com/downloads/default.asp

It's free and fixes the problem :) Some friends of mine had the same
problem, but as soon as they installed the above software, the problem
disappeared.
