    Arthas take great caution when editing the Registry in anyway. It is very easy to render your PC a paper weight. I hope you read this before you attempt the manual correction (if the fixit does not work).

    Be sure to Backup your Registry and Create a System Restore Point before you do anything.

    Here are Detailed instructions on How to Create a Restore Point and Backup (Also Restore your Registry) although a System Restore should resolve any problem you encounter.

    Good Luck

    If I use the Microsoft Fix It option will it do this for me automatically?

    Yeah that lil Mechanic Icon, you will need to save it to your desktop and then run it. But yes, it is intended to repair it for you. Its M$ of way of saying "Ooops we screwed up."

    It will not create the back up but it Should create a restore point when it installs. But I would make one manually to be safe.
