I don't know how you install a registry except by restoring from a backup of
the system's own registry. As for creating a new registry, that IS a
reinstall or repair install of the OS. The registry is not an application.
It is a database of all the operating system's attributes.

Hey Sleepless,
I'd prefer to install or create a new registry as this is not my computer
and I don't wanna screw up anything else. Thanks though.

Manually remove the offending registry entries. Computer problems can
sometimes be a pain but all you can do is think your way around the
problem using every method you know.

Hi Carey,
That didn't work either. Tried that already.

Uninstall the programs that will not open, then reinstall
them using their original installation media.
