Registry Recovery

[Ed]

Hi, I have a Dell Dimension 2400 with XP home with the latest updates on
from Microsoft. On two separate occasions lately while logging into my
administrator's account, I've received a dialogue box entitled:

"Windows - Registry Recovery"

And the text of the box says

"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"

The computer is fine, and everything is working but this still concerns me,
and I would like to know if there are any ways that I can explore to
determine exactly what is going on here.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ed,

This is often caused by faulty RAM.

Memtest is an excellent tool for detecting faulty RAM.
