Cannot restore registry backup

Hi,

I have been using CCleaner for a while and I think it's great :lol:

I just have a problem restoring my registry backup. I cannot restore any of the backups, I double click or right click and 'merge', then I get a confirmation dialog, I click 'yes', but then I get a message: unable to restore *.reg, error accessing the registry. (or something like that, my Windows is in Dutch so I had to translate)

I have also tried Start > Run and typing regedit, click ok and in the registry editor File > Import but I get the same error.

I also use a different program called RegSeeker which also makes registry backups and I have the same problem. But I made a backup myself by going File > Export in the registry editor and I can restore that just fine!

I searched the forums and found that some other people had had this problem, but there were no solutions that worked.

Thanks in advance,

Monique
