When I start my computer I get a message that says:

Windows Registry Recovery

One of the files containing the system's Registry data had to be recovered
by use of a log or alternate copy. The recovery was successful.

[OK]



Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated

Recurring instances of registry corruption can be caused by defective
RAM. Download one of the following free memory test programs and run
it to check out your RAM. It is best to run these tests for an
extended period, such as overnight.

A hard drive problem might also give the same type of error but it is
doubtful that your errors would be confined to just the regsitry in
that case.

Good luck

I strongly recommend the last of these three. It found the precise
locations of the bad bits in my RAM in a couple of minutes. (I have
no experience positive or negative with the other two.)

I also agree with Ron's advice to let the memory test run for a long
time if it doesn't find anything wrong.
