Registry Problem

[Rick]

Every time I shut down and restart the computer I get the
following message..."One of the files containing the
system's Registry data had to be recovered by use of a
log or alternate copy. The recovery was successful." What
would cause this problem? How can I fix it? Thank you
very much.

There are an almost unlimited number of reasons. If you can't suspect a
cause on your own (e.g. any recent changes to your software or hardware)
then you'll have to go through the process of reinstalling Windows.

Hi Tom,
Thank you for replying so quickly. The fact is that I
just built this computer. It has an Abit motherboard -
VIA chipset, with an Intel P-4 2.8gig processor. It has a
160gig Western Digital harddrive. I installed WinXP pro,
then installed the VIA 4 in 1 driver update, then
downloaded and installed all of the Windows updates. This
is when the problem started. I have searched thru the
multitude of Knowledgebase's and have found only 1 thing
that might be helpful. Microsoft suggests that I call
them and get a fix from them, but I really don't think it
is the same problem that the knowledge base describes.
I really see no reason for the error. Do you have any
further suggestions? Thank you,
Rick
