Before applying Registry Tweaks which are recommended in a Web Site I
was reading, I decided to Export the entire Registry to a file on my
second h/d - I called this file "xxx.reg".
To check that a possible Registry Restore would work before I went
ahead with these tweaks , I then double clicked on this file which , I
understand , will then import the data in this file back into the
registry. Since I had changed nothing in the Registry at this stage I
did not expect any problems with this re-importation.
However , I now get a message which says :-
"Cannot import "xxx.reg" .Not all was successfully written to the
Registry.Some keys are open by system or other processes."
Why do I get this message ? Nothing has been changed - is this not the
recommended proceedure for restoring a damaged Registry after changes
have corrupted it ?
The PC still seems to be working OK in spite of this message .
