Try it using the Command Prompt. In there type:

C:\WINDOWS\regedit.exe

Or try both ways in Windows Safe-Mode.
Hold down F8 during boot.

The command line:

C:\WINDOWS\regedit.exe
doesn't not work in the recovery console.

I need to be able to edit the registry independently of windows to fix an error.

Any ideas?

Or use the recovery console to set windows XP so it logs into a certain username automatically on start up. I installed a new keyboard and the drivers are now corrupt so I need to be able to get into windows without using the keyboard then uninstall the drivers. (I can use the keyboard in recovery console however)

Any ideas would be very welcome!

Cheers.
