How can I improve the capacity of Software Registery by W2K pro ?

[Guest]

When I installed new Software in Windows 2000 pro, I saw that de software registery located in %systemroot%\system32\config increase and will be currupted when their size reached value plus/min 33 MB. I am sure that there is some memory limitation anywhere, Because when I replace the corrupted %systemroot%\system32\config\software file with the backup file, the windows 2000 pro can start up again

Can anyone help me with problem, because I can no more install a new program/software?

You can resize the registry DB on the same dialog tab where the swap
file is set:

My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Performance Options -> Change

thanks for you help, Esben

But, It didn't work

I try your solution. I set my maximum registry size self to 132 MB and then I restart my computer
After that, I install a new software, it seems no problem. but, when I try restart computer again. I get the following dump of physical memory

Stop: C0000218 {Registry File Failure
The registry cannot load the hive (file) systeemroot\system32\config\software or its log or alternate
it is corrupt, abscent, or not writable

To restart my computer again, I replace the current software file with the backuped (of size 32750 kB) and It starts again

Did you known this kind of problem ? i.e. I have windows 2000 pro SP3

Have you tried searching the MS Knowledge DB for the error code? A quick
search gave this:

Yes, I know it is for Win XP, but it might be worth trying to run chkdsk
before you change the reg. db size.

I am sure that my hardware is compatible, hard disk and file system are goed
I will try to upgrade my Sp3 to Sp4. Perhaps, There zit some registry limitation.
