Recurring Registry Problem

[shoenberg3]

I think there is something wrong with my registry. When I download registry mechanic, it says some core files are missing. When I run Ashampoo WinOptimizer, it is able to find orphaned registry files but not delete it. Plus, when i try to install a game (Roller Coaster tycoon) I am not able to complete the installation as the error message reads "Could not set up registry entries."

Help? Perhaps any way to "refresh" or "repair" my registry on XP?

Thanks

Just to make sure check that your account have the permission to change registry.
To do that type regedit in the run window and hit enter.
In the registry editor from the edit menu choose permissions.
Check if full control check box is checked for your account.
