Virtual device driver Error

I tried to install a program in my C drive but it displays a message: “…
virtual device drive format in the registry is invalidâ€. I tried to fix it
with a Microsoft support article (254914). I followed all the steps:
a) Open Registry Editor
b) Find VDD value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
\VirtualDeviceDrivers|VDD
c) When I opened the VDD key there was no value in it, so I didn’t need
to delete anything
d) So, the next step was to edit it, adding the following values:
Value Name box = VDD
Data Type box = REG_MULTI_SZ

I received the following message: “the value already existsâ€â€¦ so I
couldn’t fix the problem.

A last point: My hard drive have 3 partitions: two (2) with windows 2000
(C:\ and F:\ ) and one (1) XP (G:\). I checked on my other Windows 2000
operat. system partition and its Registry Editor did show a value:
VDD: REG_MULTI_SZ: F \ PROGRAM ~1\Sysmantec\S 3ZEVNT1.DLL…
This partition was my former default startup operating system

Please , answer my question.
