Registry Key Problems, Cannot open Key, Error while opening.

Asked By dennis_dizon 0 points N/A Posted on - 09/16/2012

Generous Help is needed. I was about to check a registry key in the registry editor, when I double clicked it, it won't open and only shows this message.

What could be wrong?

Error opening key

Cannot open .dvr-ms: error while opening key.

Thanks,

Dennis

Hello Dennis,

To resolve that issue, use the following steps:

• On your computer click Start, and then click Run, and then type regedit in the Open field, and then click OK.
• After that locate and then double-click LogLevel under the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionSetup
• Go to the Edit DWORD Value window and then click to select Hexadecimal on the Base pane.
• After that type 0000FFFF in the Value data box, and then click OK.

Carl
