REGEDIT is no longer working on my system.
I have tried the gpedit.msc, but no luck in getting it to work.

Any help?

Henk.

Quickest solution may be to recopy from your instal
CD via SFC = System File Checker.

What are your anti-virus and anti-spyware arrangements?

Malware can target / disable system components. Are Task Manager, Event
Viewer and System Restore working. System Restore might get regedit
working again.

Hope this helps.

Gerry,

All systems you mentioned can be accessed.

I had AVAST installed for more than a year and it somehow failed to
work. I removed it and tried to reinstall with no luck. Got hold of the
free version of AVG and installed that. Scanned the PC and it found a
few funnies, which I deleted. But still no luck using Regedit.

What is required for the System Restore option? Original CD?

Thanks,

Henk.

That's good news.

Looking back over the thread you only only mentioned an anti-virus
programmes. You need also to have an anti-spyware programme providing
real time protection. I use Spybot S & D (freeware) for this purpose.
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/o...rs1/index.html

For dealing with serious malware infestations:

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
1.36 -freeware (if you upgrade you pay).
