Randolph: Have you tried to use a Registry cleaner? I don't mean Registry Editoer (which can get you in more trouble than it is worth), but a true program designed to review and remove Registry entries that should not be there and correct those that were changed to invalid values. I would suggest this before going any further in the process.
