After malware / virus infection the system (XP SP1) ended up with being stuck
with this BSOD - 0x00000067, I have cleaned the hard disk but I believe the
System Key is still damaged.
What could I change to be able to boot into the system and complete the
cleanup?

Is it possible to use ccleaner on a registry hive that is loaded on a
working installation of XP?

thx for suggesting hints, ric

is not suggested for Windows XP

How many sticks of memory are installed?

If your RAM memory is made up of more than one stick and
if so this offers a simple way to heck for faulty memory. Open the
computer casing and carefully remove one memory card (stick) from it's
slot and run the computer with it removed to see whether the problem
occurs. Repeat the process putting the first memory card back in and
removing the second memory card and test that card. Make sure you allow
sufficient time for an error to occur. When removing the card you will
need to lift a retaining clip each end of the memory card to allow it to
be removed. Take great care not to touch the motherboard. You can also
get an Anti-Static wrist band from a computer store to prevent a static
electricity discharge from you damaging the motherboard.

Thanks, I appreciated it, in my case due to infection it was due to it,
rather than ram problems.
I made a check with another module and it was the same bsod.
Trojans and rootkits messed up the SYSTEM registry hive, so my controlSets
didnt boot.
