| 306815 | 2004-12-22 10:05:00 | Tried to install Clean 5 today,but partway through it stopped and said that it couldn't find Regedit.I've also been into Start/Run and typed in regedit but that also says it can't be found.After a search I've found Regedit.exe and that opens the registry page ok.Clues please as to what's going on? Still using ME,800Mhz. :badpc: |

| 306816 | 2004-12-22 10:33:00 | not sure if this will work but maybe worth a try before installing Clean go to a dos prompt and type this in path=c:\path to regedit ( for example, guessing here, path=C:\windows\system32) that just sets up a search path for programs to use |

| 306817 | 2004-12-22 20:35:00 | hmmm... try regedt32 | Edward (31) | ||
| 306818 | 2004-12-23 07:47:00 | Go to start>Find>Files or Folders and enter regedit*.exe. Search C\: and you should find the file in C:\Windows. If it is anywhere else, copy it to C\:Windows and see if it will then run from Start>Run>Regedit. Start>Run>Regedit should find it wherever it is, but sometimes it helps if it is in the right folder. The * after regedit is to find any variants such as regedit32 just in case, but that filename doesn't appear in my W98 or W2000 computers so I don't know if it exists anywhere. Somebody else may enjoy different mileage. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 306820 | 2004-12-23 07:56:00 | I don't think you need DOS Neil, that is getting overcomplicated. Just find where it is and if it is not in C\:Windows, copy it to there and try again. Files do sometimes end up in the wrong places and since you know your copy works there's no harm in placing a copy where it belongs. If it is already in C:\Windows, try putting a copy in C:\Windows\System. Once you get it to run from the start menu then other programs should find it OK. Then rename any other copies as regedit.ex_ and see if it all still works. If it does, delete the unwanted copies. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 306821 | 2004-12-23 08:17:00 | Thanks Billy.I found it in C/Windows/Options/Cabs,and have copied it to C/Windows.Now Start/Run/Regedit works,which it never has done before!! Do I need to change the exe on the one in Cabs? :thumbs: |
