Error accesing the registry

[wabbit99]

Hey folks--

I'm running into a brick wall with my reinstallation of XP. I'm trying to import a .reg file into my registry but i get the error "cannot import <filename>.reg: error accessing the registry. I've never seen this before and this is the umpteenth computer ive installed XP on since it came out. Is there a security tweak i need to know about?

Thanks

search the forum for a member created utility called "RegSeeker". i never used it, but i think it's for checking .reg files for errors.

These are the keys..... the thing is on every other computer ive imported them to they are fine. Its just this one for whatever reason it give me the error, and its with every key, not just these two.

sounds like the permissions may be messed up in the registry for the keys you are trying to import. Right click on the key and select permissions and make sure you have full control rights.
