I run Vista Home Premium on my HP laptop. When I try to open the
recycle bin, or if I try to open items on the list that pops up when the start button is clicked (Computer, music, network, games...) I get an error message window with a large red X and it says "CLASS NOT REGISTERED". What's going on, and how do I fix this? |

If you have any restore points try using the recommended one in System Restore(holding down the Windows and Pause keys should bring up System Restore.) It's a good idea if you can afford an external USB drive to have system image backups. There are free programs like Macrium Reflect that may work for you(I have HP Pavilion desktop PCs and Macrium works on those.) Also there's a free program called ERUNT. Just google for it. Read the readme file for how to set it up to store a revolving 7 day backup of your Registry. -- MilesAhead "I don't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member." - Groucho Marx |

Those things can be dangerous. |

Those things can be dangerous. I didn't run a registry cleaner, but I did ask about this at my local Best Buy Geek Squad. They think the registry somehow got corrupted. Thanks to all who have replied so far. I will follow thru on some of your suggestions. |
