Hi
I have been a bit heavy handed trying to get rid of a trojan and messed
with my registry. Now I can't install anything on my computer.

How can I repair my registry?

Edwards suggestion will most likely bring back the virus if it works.
However, if you removed the virus properly you should have removed all
System Restore Points so his suggestion should not work.

Do you have a name for the trojan?

What are you trying to install? What error messages are you getting? At
what point is the install process failing?

Try Start, Run, type "sfc /scannow" without quotes and hit Enter.

May not work but worth a try as it will do no harm.

Hope this helps.
