This error message can occur if the file is corrupt or missing.To resolve this issue, you canreinstall the operating systemand restore the registry files from a backup. The registry files may have been corrupted because of hard disk corruption or some other hardware problem.
This error message can also occur if the driver has corrupted the
registry data while loading into memory, or the memory where the
registry is loading has a parity error. In the latter case, turn off the
external cache and check the memory chips.
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
Start your computer by running the Recovery Console, run the chkdsk /p command on the drive, and then restart your computer. Test to determine
whether the issue is resolved. If the issue is resolved, do not
complete the remaining steps. If the issue is not resolved, go to step
2.
When Windows loads, press SPACE BAR when the "Load Last Known Good" message appears.
Complete a parallel installation, and restore the registry files from a tape backup. To do so:
Reinstall Windows in a separate folder.
Restore
the damaged registry hive from backup. This procedure is specific to
the backup application that you used to make a backup. Consult the
documentation of your backup application or consult the vendor if you
need assistance. Typically, this procedure requires you to restore a
system state backup to an alternate location, and then copy the
appropriate registry files to the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\config folder of
the damaged operating system.
If you do not have a tape backup, include the backup of network servers and production workstations.
NOTE:
If Windows is stored on a FAT partition, you can restore the files by
using another computer and by copying the registry hive files to the
%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Config subfolder.
