All,

Ours is a Active Directory 2000 Domain network with two domain controllers and a member

server. The member server is acting as a server for Workflow Designer for SQL 2000 and

being used to develop workflow applications andworking fine till friday end.
But today morning when it was switched on this is what happening.

stop: c0000218 {registry file failure}
The reg cannot load the hi ve (file);
\system root\system32\config\software,
or its log or alternate.
It is corrupt, absent, or not writable.
Begining dump of physical memory
Dumping physical memory to disk : 0 -100

dumping takes place from 0 to 100 and this process repeats like a loop.

There is no backup of the workflow applications therefore it is very critical.
This machine also has a Windwows 2k prof OS as well which is working fine.
Any ideas Please help me.

Thanks..
Parameshwar

The c0000218 error could indicate bad hardware or more likely a registry voerflow due to size constraints. If last known good does not work as the previous poster suggested try booting into Safe Mode and increasing the registry size.
