can't open regedit

[Guest]

Maybe you have virus or something.

have you tried System Restore?

When did cd drive become corrupted? anything change?

Maybe you should repost with new question. cd drive driver corrupted or cd
read failure. then people can help you with that and every here can still
work on "Why can't I use regedit?"

New cd driver. got to cd mfg website or google for cd driver.
there are also driver download sites. www.cnet.com ( might have downloads)
www.drivershq.com , www.driversguide.com, and more

like i said make new post for cd drive problem. it is to confusing to mix
with this post.

use My computer or windows explorer and search "C" drive for regedit and
regedt32.

Start>Run>cmd>set

Read the "path=" and "pathext=" environment values/variables.
try to copy and past here or manually type here.

So I tried what you wrote, and it told me
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
REG_SZ c:\
Now what?

Thanks Dixonian69, and David Candy

Can you see what I'm talking about "getting confusing".
Obviously you did command better than me cause I just get this real long
list scorll down in command window. I don't see it give a valuue like you.

Although it did say "! REG.EXE VERSION 3.0" at the top of the list.

Anyway, I can use regedit and manually went to this 'key'.
I have F:\I386. The CD is setting in my cd drive which is "F".

What you're suppose to do, I don't know either. Is he suggesting you change
your value to match his? I wouldn't.

There was a problem with cmd.com vs cmd.exe
I think it was related to malware or virus.

Maybe there is same issue with regedit.exe.....
Since you already looked for this and didn't find, Search for
regedit.com......

Let me know. Another isssue is cd driver corruption!!

do a search for the regsvr32.exe file using the search menu, check the
advanced tab and check boxes for hidden files and subfolders. uncheck the
case sensitive box. then hit search. If you find a regsvr32.exe file open it.
It should ask you where to extract it. I put mine in c:/windows/system32.

see if that helps.
