Site Creation Error

[Jim Henley]

When I try to open or create a web on my "localhost" I get the
following error message:
Server error: Error 5 opening registry key "SOFTWARE\Classes\.4".

I can use FP to open and create webs on my Win2K server or a remote
server fine. This error only happens on the local machine.

I have tried reloading FP extensions; no joy.
Any ideas how to fix my registry?

Additional note: I have now removed IIS, re-installed and added FP
extinsions.... still getting the same error.
