I am trying to remove virus hex keys from the registry.
When I type in regedit and hit the run button the
registry editor appears for 1-2 seconds then closes
again. Can anyone tell me what is going on and how to fix
it?
Thanks,
Alan.
 
Not exactly but try search at microsoft,type:307545
Try the refrence guides,although 307545 will restore it.
