Just received a new Optiplex GX240 fro Dell. W2K is pre installed and all I do is configure it to allow for connection to our Domain. However on first login I receive the following error

Cannot import c:\dell\16bitfix.reg. Not all data was successfuly written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes.

Any ideas, before Dell ask me to reinstall the OS.

I suggest you call Dell, because that c:\dell is their directory. They are trying to edit your registry with that 16bixfix.reg file and that probably should only happen the first time anyone turns on that computer (ie. It should not keep trying to import unless it was unsuccessful the previous times).

See if Dell requires that registry fix and ask them how the computer passed inspection with this error popping up on boot.
