Registry Size

I was wondering if there was a way to change the registry size out of windows, prehaps in ms-dos or without logging in because I cannot log into Windows before I get the error message:
"maximum registry size is too small. To make sure Windows runs properly you need to increase the maximum registry size" ...
Does anyone have any idea about what I should do?? I cannot access anything in windows and I don't want to format because I have very important files that I cannot have deleted. Thanks

Can you actually get into windows? 'cannot access anything in windows' - even system properties - which you'll need to change the registry size?
What about safe mode?

you might be able to fix if your system is on the network, you can then remote into the registry and change the size, or add another hard drive and then move the pagefile to D: drive remotely. Another option is to do a repair on your OS with the Win2000 CD.
