    Welcome to Major Geeks, Sephani
    How are you trying to access regedit?, by typing into the run box?
    Sounds like you have a virus.
    Can you access msconfig, if so what is showing in the start tab?

    Can you access either program in safe mode?

    Finally can you run the system file checker from the run box?

    start>run>typein
    cmd

    at the > prompt in the black box which opens type sfc /scannow (note double n)

    If none of this helps you will need to start again in the malware section, sorry.
