notabbott Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 When I right-click and "merge," the file opens in Notepad. This is in safe mode, because whatever CCleaner "fixed" in my registry has made booting normally impossible. And System Restore won't work, either. Needless to say, I could use some help here.

Moderators Andavari Posted August 31, 2007 Moderators Share Posted August 31, 2007 When I right-click and "merge," the file opens in Notepad. This is in safe mode, because whatever CCleaner "fixed" in my registry has made booting normally impossible. And System Restore won't work, either. Needless to say, I could use some help here. 1. Run RegEdit itself via: Start -> Run -> Regedit 2. In RegEdit click File -> Import, then browse to the .reg file you wish to have imported into the registry. 3. To get .reg files working as per default you can download 374. Restore the .reg file. It's the one on the right side of 374 on that page, you'll or course have to use the instructions in #1 and #2 to import it. Then restart Windows to see if you can right click or double click .reg files to import them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notabbott Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Thanks, I'll give that a shot just as soon as I've backed all my docs off my main drive in preparation for blowing it all up and starting over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if I could only figure out why my computer keeps freezing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
