The strange thing is that if I use another key it works it don=92t crash The key which works is: /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Office/12.0//Word/Ins= tallRoot/Path (Reg_SZ) But if I use /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/shbox/freepdfxp/fpDir (Reg_SZ) Do some one has an idea whats going wrong here ??
