Regedit problems

[Rich]

I have encountered 2 problems with regedit.
1) The find feature no longer works. I cannot find items
that are in the registry.
2) There are several folders with no names that are
duplicates of the system. These are many levels deep.
I tried to remove the folders but regedit quit. Then when
I did a reboot Windows was unable to start due to missing
license information.
Can anyone help with these problems?
Please respond to my Email address (e-mail address removed)

Try Last Known Good Configuration.
