I am running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and lately it's been acting strange. I cannot run chkdsk or any of the other 'fixers' because they just appear on the screen for an instant then disappear. I also cannot update my video cards driver. It says a communication problem.
I need to fix the registry without loosing any of my software thru 'fixes' that trash your software.
Please help.
Thank you.

Sounds like you have more than a registry problem. Could be a lot more corrupted than just the registry. It could also be malware. The registry hives ares stored in C:\Windows\System32\config The only way to "fix" a corrupted hive is if you have a backup in the same directory. You'll need to boot into a recovery disk which you can make from anyone's Windows computer and rename the suspected corrupt hive and then name the backup to the original name.
