483057 2006-09-07 06:34:00 Hello,

I am running Win XP Home on my laptop.

1. Start->Run->Cmd causes the system to restart. (However if I manually run command.com, I get the command prompt. Running cmd.exe causes restart)

2. I am not able to edit registry (I get a message like Registry edit disabled by admin)

Could someone help me to understand what is the problem and how to fix it?

Thanks!

Those symptoms could be attributed to a virus or other malware infection. Have you got a Antivirus program which is up to date and completed a full scan? Are you using the Adminstrator account on the computer?
