[Guest]

Hi. On starting the PC the foolowing message displays and system restarts;
Stop: c0000218 {Registry File Failure} The registry cannot load the hive
(file): \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE or its log or alternate.
I have found the solution in the microsoft database and downloaded the
'guided help file' while on a working PC on to a removable memory card as
instucted.
My question is how to run the .exe file from the removable media on the PC
that wont boot up?
Thanks in advance.
Rob.
