Invalid registry entry

[Eric H.]

I am running W2000pro on my HP I have an invalid registry
entry here is the erro message I am getting: system/curent
contro set/control/virtual device drivers VDD virtueal
device driver format in the registry is invalid close to
terminate application. Does anyone know the correct
registry key code that belongs in this entry so I can fix
this problem, if so I would appreciate the correct value e-
mailed to me. Thanks to anyone that can help me.

Virtual Device Driver Error Message in 16-Bit MS-DOS Subsystem

The article is pretty straight-forward. You'll need to use
regedt32.exe.regedit.exe cannot create Reg_Multi_Sz strings. If you need to
recreate the VirtualDeviceDrivers key; highlight the key (in the left-hand
pane), then Edit|Delete Then (in the left-hand pane) position the cursor on
the "Control" key, (so you'll be creating directly under "Control") then
Edit|Add Key, then for the "Key Name:"
VirtualDeviceDrivers
You can leave the "Class:" blank Then proceed with steps four through seven.

Make sure your doing this logged on as local administrator.
