How can I find out

[TOOOD]

what all these error numbers are referring to in this error?

REGEDIT caused an invalid page fault in

when I try to export the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE this is what I get.

even if you do understand what that means, the odds that it is useful are VERY low. try reinstalling windows (or run a registry fixer). don't format yet, just reinstall windows on top of itself.

anyway, that means that the instruction at memory location 0000:61746114 did something bad. i think that the instruction was "ADD [DI-04],AH" (entered the hex into a debugger, and read the x86 assembly 😉). so I gues DI-04 was a bad location. maybe someone else can figure out exactly what was up 😉

what the numbers mean: EAX, EBX, ECX, EDX, etc are registers. those 4 are usually used to hold data you're working on. others are used to point to memory addresses, etc.

edit: If you look at DI, you'll see it is "2". if you look at the instruction, DI-4 = 2-4 = -2. -2 is not a valid memory address, so there is your problem. The question becomes "how did it get to this state". if your processor is overclocked, it may have made an error...

i'm not sure if this is correct though - I took the data from the stack. this probably is not actually the current instruction (I don't remember)

Thanks so much for a reply, maybe if I elaborate on

<< how did it get to this state >>


1. no it is not overclocked.

2.its a compcrap presario win95b OSR 2.1 I think(Its not my main system its for the toddler and faxing))

3.I put a 40G HD in it on the secondary as master and was able to ghost a copy to it. device manager showed a few I/O and memory range conflicts with the ATI rage pro video, I/O read data port for ISA PNP, secondary IDE controller,PCI standard PCI to PCI bridge, and that drive was running in MSDOS
compatibility mode and this error: This device is either not present or not working properly, or does not have all of the drivers installed (Code 10).
it showed up everywhere it was suppose to be except under disk drives.


4. so in my quest to fix it, I tried the standard IDE controller driver which really freaked it out. put this NOIDE in the registry that I deleted. reinstalled the intel 82371AB driver. deleted the video adapter, and parent controller and let windows find them again.

tried to change the I/O and memory range settings and got all kinds of errors, change them back.

but the copy I ghosted (without any added switches) was unfortunately after I had done the above changes so I assume the registry errors are there also.
:disgust:

I was able to even boot with the new drive alone and it booted up and was operating without any immediate indications of problems.


I am able to export all the other keys just not the LOCAL_MACHINE one.

added linksys ethernet card and 256MB ram a year or so ago.

I think that is most of it. 😱

WHAT about this

while picking through the registry I came across a few things like BAD_IDE, with these BAD values in there would that cause this type of error? ??????:Q
