cannot import C:\docume~1\owner\locals~1\temp\temporary Directory1 for linkfile_fix.reg: Not all data was successfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes.

STV429, Try starting your computer in SAFE mode and close all open windows then try merging that reg file fix.
