Yes same problem.
Go Start>Run ("Start Search" in Vista), type in:
sfc /scannow
Click OK (hit Enter in Vista).
Have Windows CD/DVD handy.
If System File Checker (sfc) will find any errors, it'll ask you for the CD.
If sfc won't find any errors in Windows XP, it'll simply quit, without any message.
Seach for regedt32.exe
R-click it and select properties.
Select the version Tab.
Under Item name, click File Version
Copy and paste the Value in your next post.
Although sfc /scannow
should fix it.
If not, we can send you fresh copy of regedt32.exe
I followed your instructions and sfc did not find anything it just simply quit i followed trian's instruction and here is the ver:
5.1.2600.0 (xpclient.010817-1148)
MrFinance
If this version is not the latest, please send me the the latest. If not what should I do?
MrFinance
It matches mine version wise.
As for sfc /scannow, that is exactly how it does things. Although we would like to see something other than what it does.
Try to run regedt32.exe again and let us know what happens.
I tried it and the same thing happened again. What should I do or any suggestions?
MrFinance
Unzip the attached and place it in C:\WINDOWS\system32 and let it overwrite the file there.
And also place a copy of it in C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache
Andtry it again
Alternately, a workaround, for now if Trains d/l doesn't help, would be to try a replacement registry editor. This one is free...

I followed your instructions and it still does the same thing.
MrFinance
I don't know, what's going here, but give this a try....
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32, and locate regular regedit.exe file.
Hold SHIFT, and right click on regedit.exe.
Click Run as.
Pop-up window will open:

Make sure the above option is "ticked".
See, if you can change permissions for offending files.
You mean in c:\I386 it's not located in C:\Windows\System32.
I'm sorry, you should look in C:\Windows, not C:\Windows\System32
