Hey guys
I need some help
I just installed a clean copy of Windows XP MCE 2005a few weeks ago, and when I go to regedit to disable some stuff from starting on boot, I can't go to regedit.
I go to start then run and type regedit, but it only flashes a screen on MSDOS and closes.
Anybody know why?

Have you tried safe mode?
Has the computer been online?
Have you scanned for spyware with multiple programs?
Tried System Restore? | |

to see what that msdos box is saying when you try to start regedit, open a command prompt (type cmd in run) then type regedit, you'll be able to see what flashes by (if anything) | |
