My windows Me computer keeps giving me an error message -- regenv32.exe has caused a page fault in regenv32.exe. What I would like to find out is what regenv32.exe does. This will allow me to track down this error. I have tried replacing the file but the message and error persist. Went to Microsoft's site and did a search on the file but turned up nothing. Would greatly appreciate any help - my thanks in advance.

..."regenv32.exe -c4 runs every time that Msconfig.exe runs or when Windows is shut down."...
The 4 in "-c4" means RECONCILE the registry environment with the environment variables set in the Autoexec.bat and Config.sys files. After you validate your current copy of regenv32.exe we can look at your environment settings and Autoexec.bat file. WindowsMe does not parse either since they are created from the saved registry file if deleted.
Did you happen to install the DOS "patch" to WindowsME..This patch alters the regenv32 and io.sys files.
If NOT
Then you can try extracting a fresh copy from c:\Windows\Options\Install or C:\Windows\Options\Cabs
Start•Run•Type msconfig,OK•Extract File•regenv32.exe•Start•Restore from: C:\Windows\Options\Install•Save file in: C:\Windows\System•OK ... file restored..(You may get a message in between prompting for saving original to Msconfig\Backup..answer yes and yes to create folder). Reboot and see if you still get message.
If still NO joy

If you can, download and run StartUp Log from Its very small, quick and you can find out what may be causing your problem. Perhaps you will see the problem before you have to repost. smitee
