Vista - TOP: C0000218 {Registry File Failure): how to fix it in Vista Ulti

the issue isn't vista + 4GB of ram, it's vista + 4GB of ram + RAID0
also, if you're not using vista 64bit, you're not even getting use from
all 4GB of your ram. so if you're using 32-bit, just take one of the
sticks out

I took out one memory strip at first, tried booting up and it didn't
work. Now i took out tow strips and it still doesn't work. I have 4x1gb
of corsair ddr2 ram. With only two strips of memory left it still won't
boot up.
:-/

I pretty much have a fresh install since about 2 months+- months ago.
I installed SP1 about a week after my install. Everythings been fine
since and never had a problem at all. Today i came home, turned on my
computer and it's been giving me the BSOD all day long, haven't logged
in once. My brother does share my computer with me but only with
limited access, so i doubt in Vista he's able to click on an update and
install it. And if it did happen, because a couple days ago i do
remember seeing a reminder for a windows update, then that's probably
it, but i'm not sure if an update was done since last night.

I had this problem:
I couldn't even get back to windows. If I used system restore I would
get error 8007000e, -Not Enough Storage to complete operation-.

I solved this problem (the registry problem) by going to the command
prompt and restoring the 'five registry files'
(http://www.thegeekpub.com/Home/Artic...4/Default.aspx)
manually from the RegBack directory.

I hope this finally solves this problem for everyone, as I didn't find
this solution anywhere on the Internet.

Anyone want to make a batch file for it, to run from a flash drive?

im getting this same problem too
i have a gigabyte ex58 with 12 gigs of corsair ddr3 ram running i7 920
i have so befuddled and sad part is when the screen where windows error recovery comes up, my keyboard doesnt work to scroll up and down those choices so i ahve to let it start normally then i get the BSOD where registry error
sytem32\config\security and i cant even install vista over cause when i turn it on with the cd, the option of reinstalling doesnt even come on

Any update to this? What is a fix? New Motherboard? I have a dual core
q6600 1.6ghz, 4 X 1GB corsair ram. Gigabyte P35. I run Ubunto on this
just fine, but after running windows vista for a few months I have
gotten the BSOD over and over. All combinations. Yes the memory is fine.
Why would it work for a few months and then crap out? If a person has a
permanent fix I would like to know. Will replacing the motherboard do
it? ASUS? Thanks all.

Thanks for the response. I tried the first suggestion to no avail before
I sent this out. I don't have the OEM/Can't find or wife threw out...
to reload vista. But reinstalls on this thread didn't seem to work
either. So I thought, if the problem were a combination of vista 64 and
the gigabyte p35, that I should either get a new mb or reinstall. I was
hoping I could find a different MB that doesn't have this issue and not
have to purchase and reinstall Vista. but either way is ok with me. If
it was a gigabyte issue then a new mb would seem the way to go. Any
recommendations welcome.
