I had to use "subinacl" to do something to the registry, and now stuff is breaking.

I used this program for Visual Studio C# Express to work, and stupidly, I forgot to back up the registry. It changed something like 85,000 registry entries. It did actually fix my problem, but now a lot of system stuff doesn't work, such as Windows Audio Service (needed to be able to actually play sound) and I can't open the "Connect to a network" tray thing. If I try to open any of these, I get the message "Not enough storage is available to complete this operation". I googled this and found it had something to do with the registry using too much space.
I saw instructions on how to increase the allowed size for the registry, but they were for Windows 2000, and I'm a little worried that I would have to increase it by a lot judging by the amount of registry entries that were changed. I'm thinking about getting Windows 7 anyway, but if I don't, what should I do? :x
Thanks a lot.
Anyone? Sorry for the bump.
System restore ? I think it backs up the registry.
Didn't you find changing 85 THOUSAND registry entries for one thing to work a tad extreme?
And yeah, just do a system restore, or reinstall windows over the current one (no data or programs will be lost, however you should back up my documents folder).
I didn't specify to change 85,000 registry entries, it did that when I copied the batch file instructions by [b]Microsofts[/b] instruction. And I wasn't going to end the task while it was changing registry entries, that could have created worse problems.
If I have to restor Windows, I'm just going to wait a week until I get 7. Thanks.
