baphomet_irl Veteran Share Posted September 10, 2001 yeh i was using RC1 on a pc and got this error msg - it wont startup even in Safe mode - i just get this BSOD after the loading screen: 'STOP: c0000218 {Registry File Failure} The registry cannot load the hive (file): SystemRootSystem32ConfigSOFTWARE or it's log or alternate it is corrupt, absent or not writable' it's really annoying - lukily i was dual botting with 98SE. the only change I seem to have done was to apply a scheme change in 'Classic' mode (i.e. I changed taskbar colours etc., the same way it was done in 9x/2000). And the next time i started up it was like that :s thx for any help............. Link to post Share on other sites
