Title: REGEDIT May Not Be Able to Import Registry with Large Keys
Document Number: Q132064 Publ Date: 16-OCT-1995
Product Name: Microsoft Windows 95.x Retail Product
Product Version: 95
Operating System: WINDOWS
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 95
---------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you try to import the registry using Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE) in
real mode, you may receive either of the following error messages:
- Unable to open registry (14) - SYSTEM.DAT
- Error accessing the registry: The file may not be complete.
CAUSE
=====
The real-mode stub of REGEDIT.EXE has the ability to export, import, and
create registry files. REGEDIT.EXE uses the internal real-mode registry
library to accomplish these tasks. The real-mode code in this library has
certain problems with large registry files.
For example, if there are many applications installed, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
may be quite large. If one of the structures in the SYSTEM.DAT file takes
up too much space in conventional memory, the registry cannot be accessed.
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this problem, use Registry Editor in protected mode.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
