first of all i just thought it was just a minor one off problem that would big fixed and that was it... but its returned...

everytime i start up and get to windows i get the nice alert message that says windows has found a fault whilst trying to access your registry and will re-start fixing the registry...

given no choice what to do ive got to re-start and an old backup of the registry is installed and iam back to a previous registry ( so all those controls ive spent adding to the registry are now lost )

i cant installed any programs that require a re-boot b4 they can be used, because when its finished rebooting for the first time ive got to do it again and an backup of the registry is installed and now the computer does not think the program was never installed in the first place...

ive run norton utilites to fix anything is can find... did some fixing but did not help... ive run the registry fix from microsoft, again nothing still reboots twice... has anyone got an ideas on what i can do?? i dont really want to have to format and start again coz ive started from fresh about 4months ago

does anyone have any ideas??

thank you...
