Did you try to run "CHKDSK /F" or yet better "Sfc /scannow"
start -> run -> Type those things and see
By the way SFC might ask for you OS's CD but the change is low.

I had this problem its a definite virus.

Navigate to regedit.exe or regedt32.exe 's location, copy and paste it to another location and rename to regedit2.exe

It should then run - you need to run a good virus scan in safe mode and also may need to run additional batch files etc.

Even if it is a virus the problem would be solved if you use my way but the question is for howlong.
Try What deltaslaya suggested and see how it turn out.
Try to scan and remove the virus first then run SFC.
then everything should be solved.
What protection do you have at this moment?

You have to enable it through Gpedit.msc.
Can you access it. If you can, I (or someone else) will tell you how to do it.

i just found that this problem is coz by a virus " rontokbro@mm "

the solution i found is:

Open your start menu click Run and paste in the folowing command: REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f Submited By HaXxOr.

thank to HaXxor.

however after i restart back my PC, the problem is still there, cannot open regedit,msconfig n gpedit.msc

That doesn't sound like the best solution.

Try hijackthis or similar and upload your results to TrendMicro.
