1.	Solve : Problem with the registry????
Answer» Problem: When I try to click on the clock on the lower right hand corner of the screen I get an error message that tells me that "another program is currently using this file at this time". It is in a pop-up window that is labeled Control Panel. I also get the same message when I click on certain items within the control panel. I ran Norton and Antispyware in safe mode and I ran scan disk. This did not fix the problem. Is there something I should be doing in the registry? Thankswhat os do you have?? what protection do you have? did this start happening all of sudden or has it been going on for a while? what did you dl right before this started happening? So if you think that it is something wrong with the registery then download a software and run it..Yellow [highlight]FLAG[/highlight] on Maksim. This will not help find a solution to the problem.
