Hi I am getting this error:Stop: C0000218 {registry file failure} The registry cannot load the hive [file]: \systemroot\system32\config security.

How can I fix this? I am on that cpu now, but if I leave it on and idle for a little bit, it goes to the blue screen with the error message KERN_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR.

I don't get it!

FYI: My cd-rom drive no longer works (unrelated), so I can't put the disk in so if that is your suggestion....

Thanks in advance!

Serious answers only.

I have McAfee and a spyware and virus sweeper already.

I did a full disk check and it didn't seem to work.

\systemroot\system32\config\security

When I tried to do it and ran it in safe mode, it loaded a bunch of info on the black screen and then froze.

ARGH!
