Hi wantluckman,
Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers!
I would suggest you to perform the following steps.
* Click Start and then type cmd in the Start Search box.
* In the results area, right-click cmd.exe, and then click Run as administrator. You will be prompted to type the password for an administrator account. Click Continue if you are the administrator or type the administrator password. Then, click Continue.
* Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose * You receive a "Task is completed" message and a warning message that something could not be done. You can safely ignore this message
