How do I repair my registry?

When I look at my printer properties, the following screen pops up:


c:\WINNT\Explorer.exe


Function address 0x60641983 caused a protection fault. (exception code 0xc0000005) some or all property pages may not be displayed.





And Word won't run.





I suspect my registry is corrupted.





Is there any way to repair it?





If I run my computer as a different user, everything works fine, but it's a pain to transfer all my settings over to another user account.

How do I repair my registry?
before digging in the registry, did you try reinstalling the printer driver? to me, this is driver problem. why don't you uninstall the printer, see if that helps...check for your printer's drivers online and download them (do not use the cd's...that may be outdated)...i'd check online but i don't know what printer you have, but i suspect is HP...anyway, let us know how that works or if you need any more help





also, if you're running windows 2000, you might want to check this...
