Go to control panel. double click system. Click on advanced tab, click performance options, click change, increase your registry size. The current registry size is show. Your new registry size should be 1.2-1.5 times greater thatn your current size. This allows for installation of new programs etc. Without having registry error. when finished click ok on all windows until you are returned to control panel.
