Registry Errors and How To Fix

[Vincent A. Russo]

I am getting this following error:

SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers. VDD. Virtual Device
Driver format in the registry is invalid. Choose 'Close' to terminate the
application.

Close Ignore


Can you help???

I do not have a rescue disk, nor do I have my original W2K disk.

Thanks,

Vinnie

Virtual Device Driver Error Message in 16-Bit MS-DOS Subsystem
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];254914

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.
