Default Registry problem

I use Win XP. I export (save) the registry at periodic
intervals. When I try to import the saved registry, I go
to Start/Run/regedit. Then File/Import. This opens the
directory that contains the saved registry file. When I
click on OPEN, the blue line completes and then an error
message appears: This is titled "Registry Error" and says:

"CANNOT IMPORT C:\REG_ARCHIVE\REGFILE.reg: NOT ALL DATA
WAS SUCCESSFULLY WRITTEN TO THE REGISTRY.SOME KEYS ARE
OPEN BY THE SYSTEM OR OTHER PROCESSES."

This has happened to all registry files that I have saved
for the past few months. I have removed many files from
the Task Manager (ctrl-alt-del) with no success. I have
also tried to import in "SAFE MODE", but the same error
message appears. (The exporting process runs smoothly with
no error messages.)

Can someone tell me why I cannot import the saved registry
file? Thanks

Herschel, have you used System Restore yet. It does pretty much the same
thing you are trying to accomplish.
