Tardab Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 When I try to merge or import the backup files back to the registry I get "cannot import C:\my documents ..... error accessing registry." I tried a few different things - I'm admin etc. Anyone have some thoughts on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishan_rulz Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 What OS are you using? EDIT: I googled your error a bit, and seems as though your .reg file is messed up. Is it the original file that was created by CCleaner? Simplicity is hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tardab Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Windows XP Home Service Pack 3 I've been using CCleaner on 4 machines for a couple years - the reg files are definately created by it. On this particular machine I have no problems - had a problem last evening with my wife's (same OS) tried to import and no go. I've been googling it for a few hours myself - I think I might be on to something. I'll post back if I find a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Nergal Posted August 11, 2010 Moderators Share Posted August 11, 2010 also try run>regedit.exe file>import ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators DennisD Posted August 12, 2010 Moderators Share Posted August 12, 2010 I'm wondering if its a file association thing. Have you tried right clicking the reg file, select "properties", and see if the "opens with:" dialogue is still "Registry Editor"? If not, use the "change" button to reset it.
