Hi,
Reset the registry security settings on all registry keys and see if
that helps.
If you have WinXP Pro:
Use the command line tool secedit.exe to reset the registry security
settings back to the defaults.
From the Start/Run menu, run the command line exactly as listed below
(note that command line will wrap over two lines in this post, you
need to unwrap it back to one line):
%comspec% /k secedit.exe /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf
/db secsetup.sdb /verbose /areas REGKEYS
More about secedit.exe here:

If you have WinXP Home:
Use subinacl.exe (a tool from Microsoft) to reset the registry
permissions:
Follow the procedure in "Step 1: Reset permissions" in this post:

I would have considered edit the reset.cmd file and removed the two
lines starting with "subinacl /subdirectories".
