AutoCAD/Error with updating program registry

Question
When I open AutoCAD LT the error comes up. Failed to update the system registry.  Please try using regedit.  Do you know how I can get rid of this message?

Answer
HI
1 -- that error message is more likely from Windows, not AutoCAD -- and any message telling you to use REGEDIT is suspect (maybe even a prank)
2 -- did you try, via add/remove programs, to do a repair installation of LT?
Assuming you dont have any add-on 3rd party helpers installed, I would do 2 right away.
-- if you have downloaded AutoCAD helper programs, delete them one at a time.
