Reference Microsoft Support "Q" Doc: Q173309..
This error attributed to three possible reasons, the one I've settled on is "the software hive may be corrupted and, therefore, cannot load". Question is two parts: 1.) Without ERD, is reinstall the only fix? 2.) What causes the "software hive" to get corrupted in the first place?

Additionally, the note in the technote; "NOTE: In every case tested in which the software hive could not be loaded, the File_name was Winsrv.dll." does apply to my situation..

I just had this problem. Q2. I don't know what causes it. The ERD did not fix the problem. I had to do a full reload. You can try to do an upgrade if it will let you. If you need to save data, install to a different directory, like Winntnew. Good luck.
