What you have here is what's called a registry "hive" file that's gone south on you. The easiest way to repair this is to perform an in-place safe reload of Windows "over the top" of itself. That way you won't lose any data or programs, but you will have to reload any Windows updates, and occasionally a driver or two may need reloading.
