<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Don,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not aware of any utilities to do what you want.
The trouble with your plan is that over the years, the Windows registry has
grown and grown and unless you know exactly which entry is causing the problem,
chances are that you will not be able to fix this problem merely with a registry
edit. Speaking from a Windows sysadmin's perspective, whenever a Windows box
fails, the best option is always a wipe and reinstall.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a dual-boot system vista and
gutsy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All was working fine until today.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now when I try to open vista, it goes into an
endless loop of starting to load ... bsod ... reboot.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I select vista the second time, I am given
the option to enter last good known configuration and safe mode. I have tried
both of these and the same thing happens.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So... now for my question.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Are there any utilities I can use from within
gutsy to edit/clean my vista registry?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know ther are tools for doing things like
resetting passwords, so I suspect the tools are available somewhere, but in
all my googling I haven't found them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any help would be greatly
appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My vista re-install cd is 1,500 miles away, and
would prefer not to have it shipped if possible.</FONT></DIV>
