Is the registery locked or something??

Does anyone know how to put this key into the registery??

I think it mite be a windows update thing cuz before that it worked fine but i am not sure of it....


Plz Help.

Plz Help.
How are you updating the registry? The error message suggests that you're double-clicking a *.reg file whereas your wording suggests you're entering the data into regedit manually.

Try running regedit and using the import function, as the error message suggests.

I just tried using Regedit and it didnt work...

But first i tried to double click it and it worked just fine.


And i am just wondernig does there need to be a "REGEDIT4" in every key ??

Eh? Now I'm lost.
From what you're now saying, you successfully added the keys to the registry, then used regedit to try and add them again. Did you delete the keys, then? Why?

As for '"regedit4" in every key', I'm not sure I understand you there, either! do you mean something like this...

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SomeKey]
"SomeStringValue"="REGEDIT4"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SomeKey]
"SomeOtherStringValue"="REGEDIT4"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SomeKey]
"YetAnotherStringValue"="REGEDIT4"
?

No i havent already added it into the registery. But when i clik it, it says that i need to use regedit to import binary keys into it.

And i opened the key with notepad and it didnt have the regedit 4 on the top like

REGEDIT 4
