This is done from a file on the C:\ drive that isn't identified to us as being an MTU file. It contains your information and all of your registration codes that you have entered.



Your title for this post is Regedit failed, but you don't mention it in your post. What exactly did you do and what happened when you did it?

Let's wait before you try the System Restore as I am not convinced we have gone through everything we can try.
What other programs do you have installed on this computer?

REGEDIT:
My mistake (lack of precision). In Regedit, I first deleted the non-Microstudio folders, then the MicroStudio folder (after having uninstalled MicroStudio), and finally deleting the parent MicroTechnology folder. In each case I was uninstalling and then reinstalling MicroStudio with no luck. I never deleted the MTU folder or subfolders under C:ProgramFiles/.

HIDDEN FILE: Makes sense to me.

OTHER PROGRAMS:
WINDOWS: XP 5.1, Movie Maker 5.1, Media Player and Messenger.
HARDWARE: Logitech Wireless Mouse and Keyboard, Power DVD DX, Roxio Creator Premier Blu-Ray 10.1
BROWSERS: IE7, Safari, Google Desktop
E-MAIL: Eudora 7.1 and Outlook (Installed but don't use)
APPS: MS Office 2003, Front Page 2003, Visio 2003, Streets & Trips 2008, Games and Works. Adobe CS3 (Photoshop, Bridge, Device Central), Acrobat 9 (full), Messenger, Remote Assistance, QuickTime 7.5.5, ITunes, IrfanView 4.2, ACDC 10 Photomanager & Device Detector 4,
UTILITIES: NVIDIA Control Panel, Norton 2007 (System Works/AntiVirus), Norton Partition Magic, Amazon MP3 downloader.

After MicroStudio was last working (9/27), I installed SPSS 16, Minitab and a number of free Audio and video editing software programs from DVD Videosoft. I uninstalled all of those thinking one of them might have caused the problem. No luck.
