the registry at all.....Thanks
That only happens when you run Teamspeak right? Then don’t run Teamspeak.
Anyway,
How long has it been happening? Has it always been like that or have you been
able to run Teamspeak before? I would guess that a driver has become corrupted
or damaged. Try reinstalling it.
Try the forums there; apparently you aren't the only one with this problem:

You chould also contact Teamspeak support since it’s a problem with that
software if it only happens when you run it. But their forums are your best bet.

You could also try the steps to restore your registry list here:

Also, this page that deals specifically what that error says to contact
Microsoft Support about fixing the corruption:

Using any registry cleaner is of course up to each individual, but you might
want to review this link, and I'd advise the user that there are documented
cases of broken "clean" registries in the Safety Scanner support forums.

Agreed.
It is indeed true that the registry can get cluttered with old, outdated junk
(have you seen the kind of crap—ie files, reg entries, etc.—that most apps leave
behind when you uninstall them?!), and it is also true that the registry files
can become large and fragmented as entries are created, edited, and deleted. It
is also true that cleaning up the registry (getting rid of junk left behind from
uninstalled apps, fixing incorrect filenames, defragging, etc.) can provide a
little better performance and free up a little space.
That said, registry cleaners are unadivsed. Most people should not bother with
cleaning up the registry at all since the gains would be minimal and the risks
too great for novice users. Cleaning the registry is best left to advacned users
who can backup and do most of the actual removal by hand (either directly, or by
manually selecting entries that a cleaner suggests).
I wrote an article explaining the major flaw in reg cleaners a while ago. Here’s
the most important part:
If you do use a reg cleaner, NEVER simply click select-all->remove. Every reg
cleaner that I have seen suffers from a sever defect: lack of information. The
devs that create these things seem to be intermediate in computer skills at
best. If they weren’t then they would not flag a filenames like the following as
borken links:
%systemroot%\Explorer.exe
"C:\Windows\Explorer.exe"
C:\Windows\System32\Shell32.dll,5
C:\Windows\System32\Shell32.dll,-123
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k cd c:\
Pretty much every one I’ve seen does not recognize or handle variables or icon
indexes. Some don’t even handle quotes and/or arguments! They would flag these
as bad and try to remove them even though there is nothing wrong with them.
So basically, unless you really know what you’re doing, leave the registry
alone. You’ve got little to gain from “cleaning” it.
