That error is most likely coming from a program independent of Windows. Did you uninstall something lately? Or, did you run any registry cleaners that may have removed something used by another program? ---Troth -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of DH (Rick) Holmes Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 8:10 PM To: PCTT Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Registry error Hi all. A subject change....When I start my computer, for the last two or three days I have been getting a message that says: "Error! Registry data not found." The 'puter seems to be running fine - I have not entered the registry for a long time - I have downloaded nothing for a while (apps, I mean!). Any thoughts on the possible reason, please? Should I do a SysRestore, perhaps? Running WinXP Home edition. SP2. (SP2 seems to be running smoother now!) Any suggestions welcomed. Thanks. Rick H -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
