Vista - Files missing from windows\system 32. What should I do?

After running Avanquest's Recovery Commander, I got this report from the
program:
------------------------------------------
Create Recovery Commander Checkpoint

Recovery Commander checkpoint description:
resizing partition t:

Warning
The following file could not be found and was skipped:
C:\Windows\System32\Config\DEFAULT

Warning
The following file could not be found and was skipped:
C:\Windows\System32\Config\SAM

Warning
The following file could not be found and was skipped:
C:\Windows\System32\Config\SECURITY

Warning
The following file could not be found and was skipped:
C:\Windows\System32\Config\SOFTWARE

Warning
The following file could not be found and was skipped:
C:\Windows\System32\Config\SYSTEM

Warning
The following file could not be found and was skipped:
C:\Windows\System32\Config\COMPONENTS

Success
The Recovery Commander checkpoint was created.
An associated System Restore checkpoint was created as well.
------------------------------------------

Are the \System32\Config\DEFAULT,SAM,SECURITY,SOFTWARE,SYSTEM and COMPONENTS
files essential? And, if so: Is there some way, they can be recreated
correctly?
Do I perhaps have some kind of bug? (I have the latest Kaspersky AV running
permanently)

perhaps that application is not vista compatible???

make sure it is before using it

Yeah, this sounds like a compatibility problem ... the computer would
not be running without these files.

I thought it said so on their products page, but when I checked it now, it
says:
(http://www.v-com.com/product/SystemSuite_Home.html)

System Requirements
.. Pentium or better
.. Windows 2000/XP

So both the report and recovery checkpoint are probably unreliable in Vista
64

=====================================
Doesn't appear to be Vista compatible:
