Nice clear explanation of coexisting .net frameworks by Colin--this
situation often confuses people. The major problem with all the so-called
registry cleaners is that hardly anyone knows what they are in fact really
doing. Many of them will flash a gui that says you have one thousand and
eleventy fifteen reg errors that need fixing or that it has fixed. The
www.winguides.com site has Reg Mechanic and the developer who does that and
creates most of the reg fixes and tweaks for that site is an Australian with
a very deep understanding of the regisstry. From what I can tell though
running it didn't solve your problem which I can't decode. I agree with
the people on this thread that you are better using conventional uinstalls
or if it worked in Vista and it doesn't yet System File Checker, ect. to
troubleshoot your problem.
Ed Bott has written a good article on this (writes the MSFT Press Inside Out
Book on XP and prob Vista) so I'll link you to it:
