I had that same problem. I went to SmartComputing.com and found a description of that problem and a downloadable file and it "fixed" the registry error. That was after days of trying evrything. BUT- before I'd do that, I'd use XP's restore points and ":go-back" to the day before the problem and that should fix it.
I wasn't able to do that becauser I had not addressed the problem in over 30 days and the go-back feature would only go back 30 days.
