Regedit won't run

[Dave Rado]

Hi - I hope this is the right newsgroup for this question.

When I try to run Regedit I get the following error message and the registry
fails to open:

"regedit

Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was
completed."


This problem only started today (I've been using XP on this machine for
ages). Any idea what could be wrong and how to fix it? (I tried a Google
search but got no hits).

Regards

Dave

Dave, give your Ram a check. Try Memtest

Memtest found no errors - any more ideas?

The problem went away on its own (not immediately after running memtest - a
day afterwards). Go figure!
