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. "Herschel Hochman" wrote in message ... I use Win XP. I export (save) the registry at periodic intervals.
