regedit

[mark]

When I open regedit (and yes, im knowledgeable enough to
be in there) it opens then only stays the screen for
about 3 seconds, then closes. Any thoughts?

Hi mark,

That problem is usually caused by a virus/trojan infection, most notably
W32.Spybot.Worm:

http://tinyurl.com/gd5j (TrendMicro info for WORM_SPYBOT.GEN)

You could d/load Doug Knox's xp_emegencyutil.exe, which "Creates usable
copies of REGEDIT, MSCONFIG and Task Manager", from here:

Knowledgable enough to use regedit...but not knowledgable enough to keep
viruses off your computer.

As much as I enjoy Rocky the Flying Squirrel, I decided that it's time to
stop hiding behind his name.
