If you still need to fix your system, then you might try doing a System Restore (Method Two below) using a restore point dated before the problem.
System Restore - How to
Hope this helps,

The system is running fine as long as I do not defrag the registry , so as you said it would be something with McAfee and Vista 64 (even in safe mode )
-for registry cleaners I only use CCleaner ,and sometimes I will Check off the one in McAfee
-but I did not use either before the defrags.
-when I get some time , I will uninstall McAfee .defrag. then reinstall for a test.
-But the first corruption was worst with IE8 installed.
-in any case , it has me looking for good backup software as the one that comes with the HP dosen't cut it.
-thanks for your time
