Dear miche,
QUOTE" In Microsoft Windows XP, the Registry Size Limit (RSL) functionality has been removed. Therefore, there are no longer any limits on the total amount of space that may be consumed by registry data (hives) in paged pool memory, and in disk space. However, there is a limit for the system hive which is a permanent part of the registry associated with a set of files that contains information related to the configuration of the computer on which the operating system is installed. configured items include applications,user preferences,devices and so on. So you have to remove unused settings from the system hive"(underlining is mine as also the bold type for emphasis)UNQUOTE
Source : Low on registry space
This quote comes from a MSFT in the above MS forum
The forum nicely dovetails onto an MS article which i found particularly interesting as it's crux seems to emphasize on reducing the entries from the system hive and the article is : The System hive memory limitation is improved in Windows Server 2003
I can understand the gravity of the situation as your second pc's life is in peril! I request you read the discussion in my first link and then the MS article and i also wish to tell you not to lose hope at any cost!
I have a gut feeling that there are too many a programs or enough number of big programs to give you this kind of pain!
Regards,
Sreedhav
