    Have you tried this route?

    3. Open the Start Menu.
    A) Click on All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and System Restore, and go to step 6 below. (see screenshot

    I am interested to know why you found it necessary to edit the Registry in the first place?

    Well you certainly should always back up the original reg whenever you get a new machine or clean install unless the restore works then the sfc is worth a shot plus this but I wouldn't be holding my breath for long.
