Note that 'Merge" and "Import" are not the same. Merge involves specific
Hives and is restricted to the HKEY_USERS and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE keys.
Import replaces the current Registry with a backup. If the computer is
functioning OK - why try to import the backup?

I'm on XPproSPII w-all/ M$ updates / IE6 / AVG .
I made a back-up file of the Reg almost a month ago & thought I was good
to
go.
I started to edit the Reg as per instructions at a reputable website but
when I was done I saw no real improvement in download speed & decided to
put
the reg back like it originally was. (via My back-up file) But when I
select
to Merge the .reg file I'm confronted with the following popup type error:
Cannot import C:\???.reg: Not all data was successfully written to the
registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes.
Things I have tried;
I have gone through the reg looking for any open keys & have found none at
all !!
I have also looked through the Event Viewer & I see nothing pointing
towards
it.
I Created a new file of the Reg(today) & tried to merge it & I get the
same
error.
My google skills are not all that & I couldn't find anything so I gave up
&
came here.
