lots like the above and then we get the proper structure
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Ahead

Everything that was under the Software Key was duplicated in the empty
key structure
It was on a HP P4 2 GHz desktop m/c about 2 yo. HP has it as a known
problem with this machine and not being able to put SP2 on it.
When an attempt was made to remove these empty keys, RegEdit did a
crash and burn. Logged out of the user in question and windows then
could not bring up the list of configured users.
I hope this is the detail you are looking for.

It is the empty key value between \\ that is concerning me. I have
never seen anything like it before.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\\\\\\\.....\\\\\\AdobeCan you provide a sample of Key names ? & how does it
refuse to take SP2 ? Is it a desktop or notebook.
Generalized questions are really hard to diagnose and don't
really give enough insight to work with.
