Hi COneoHippie

If You have been getting that windows xp, can't find regedit.exe, or when you click on a exe or com file and the program closes, it usually means that your windows xp instillation is damaged, A program somewhere is conflicting for the memory with one of your startup programs, You will have to try and repair it, If that fails re-install windows from scatch 1 program at a time till it happens again then go back and uninstall the program that is causing it
