ok, i am trying to solve this email notification thing i i have found
the other posts on how to do it but whenever i try and open the
registry screen or anything containing the word registry it closes, i
have found this with other words mostly adult related so it did not
bother me it must be some security setting on the windows. how do make
it so i am capable of viewing this pages and the registry. ??
 
if you were able to access the registry, what would be the exact modification
that you woudl do to fix your problem?

its possible that if email notifications are a problem, the editing the
registry is not the solution. ms messenger or other messenger services
routinely check for new messages.......
 
[[When you open System Configuration Utility [MSCONFIG], Registry Editor or
Task Manager, they flash for a second and quit. This symptom is caused by
Viruses.]]

Task Manager, MSCONFIG, or REGEDIT disappear while opening

Update your antivirus software and run a full system scan.

Update whatever anti-spyware applications that you have and run a full
system scan with each one.

You might want to start in Safe Mode to run your antivirus and anti-spyware
software.

Running a full system antivirus scan or anti-spyware scan in Safe Mode can
be a good idea. Some viruses and other malware like to conceal themselves
in areas Windows protects while using them. Safe mode will prevent those
applications access and therefore unprotect the viruses or other malware
allowing for easier removal.
