Windows Registry Error
This is a discussion about Windows Registry Error in the Windows Software category; When I try to install ANYTHING I get this error: System\CurrentControllSet\Config\VirtualDeviceDrivers. vdd. Virtual driver format in the registry is invalid. The choices are: Close or Ignore. If I pick Close then the installation aborts but if I click ignore the installation goes fine and the application works.
When I try to install ANYTHING I get this error:
"System\CurrentControllSet\Config\VirtualDeviceDrivers .vdd. Virtual driver format in the registry is invalid."
The choices are: Close or Ignore.
If I pick Close then the installation aborts but if I click ignore the installation goes fine and the application works.
Any ideas on how to get rid of this error? Or what caused it in a first place?

OP
Can u suggest one?
If you REALLY now what you are doing, you could Backup the registry doing an Export....and then simply delete the line in the registry causing the error. Assuiming you know what the line is, and if the Registry already says the value is invalid...you might as well get rid of it...right??
Hopefully you have your Repair disks...in case this fails and you can't get into windows....even in safe mode.
This is just an idea....don't want to see anyone totally mess up their computer on my account.....but it would be a quick fix if it works!
