My computer (Dell) crashed on me and via Blus Screen diagnostic, I’m getting error code "c0000218 {registry file failure} The registry cannot load hive (file): \SystemRoot\System32\config\SOFTWARE or its log ot alternate. It is corrupt, absent or not writeable."
Any ideas what these errors are and how to resolve them? If there is a place for me to look this up, let me know. I haven’t backed up my files in a few weeks, so there are SEVERAL things I need to get off the hard drive!
