Regedit closes immediately after opening

S

SAQIB

I am unable to open my registry editor.

I type regedit in the run command,
and the registry editor stays open for a split second and
then closes before i can do anything in it.

any ideas why?

thanks.

Some viruses and worms kill regedit.exe when you run it. You can often
rename it to regedit.com and run it, but I would suggest you run an
anti-virus scan and find out what this virus is and remove it.
