Can't access 'Regedit'.

[andygo]

When I try to access regedit from start/run I get a second of a DOS screen then nothing.Have I got a nasty somewhere?

What OS are you running? If its XP you most likely havent installed service pack two.

No matter though, if you go to start>search then type "regedit" in the search box hit search it should be the first thing on your list of results, the icon is like a blue rubix cube with a couple of bits missing. double click the icon and it should open

Doesn't matter, you can run regedit from earlier versions of XP. I did.


This happened to me once with the "Ping" command I couldn't run it from anywhere except the directory the command was stored in. I'd suggest navigating to whatever directory regedit is in (C:Windowssystem or whatever it is) and type regedit in a dos window from there.

If you've got a nasty you can copy regedit.exe to regedit.com and explicitly run regedit.com. That foxes a lot of the nastys
