Are you restricted by a domain administrator? Or is this a personal computer

I am having the same problem with XP Pro SP2. I type in regedit and it says can't find. I tried the regedit32.exe and same message. This is a personal computer and I am logged in as administer. Any ideas appreciated. I like to go in and clean up the registry on a regular basis but haven't been able to do that for awhile.

Thanks for the reply. I was able to run regedit by going into Windows\I386\regedit and running it from there. I then put a shortcut in my quick launch toolbar.

Malware is most likely the cause of these issues.
You should ask for help with cleaning procedures in the required forum.
