Re: regwiz.exe crash everytime I try to use it to register

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

Yes, I'm always referring to the Windows XP Pro Operating system in all my
posts (sorry for the confusion). When I mentionned that I like to register
certain programs, I meant Windows XP as the program to register.

So to recap.. and only talking about WinXP here, I already activated it, and
as you said, altho I cannot register it (regwiz won't work), it is not
required at all. So I won't do so. What's nagging me tho is *why* isn't
regwiz working at all on a brand new install of Windows XP. (which I'm trying
to use to register.. again, NOT to activate).

But, to keep this thread short, I'll forego the registration since it is not
required and everything else works flawlessly (Office, Visual Studio, and
everything else).

Thanks again for all your replies.. much appreciated :)
