Hi Steve,
I take it you mean that you used the Registry Issues function.
Close everything and then open Explorer to My Documents and try "Merge" again.
Please remember to "Merge" backups in the reverse order.
Backup file 3,then 2 then 1.
If you didn't change the names they will have a time stamp in the name.
Good luck,
davey
P.S. Things like Windows live Messenger can be just turned off. Either in Services or use Start > Set Program access and defaults > Add Remove Windows Components.
Leave the Registry to the "specialists". Play with fire and you will get burned. (Brotherly advice)
If the above does not work then try doing it in Safe Mode.
