If I well recall, you're PC is Widows XP. Home or Pro &
how much RAM?
Are you logged as administrator when the "RegOpenEx:
handle is invalid" occurrs?
Scroll 1/3 down on this page for a description of
"regOpenEx". Apparently something has gone awry and my
suggestion is to try to restore to your previous
working settings. Hopefully this will work.

Also, doesn't EasyCleaner have a "restore" capability
enabled by default? Try that first.
I'll keep a-lookin' in the meantime!
