registry editor
Upon rebooting my Demension XPS 700 a registry editor window came up with the message: Cannot import sys.reg. Error opening the file. There may be a disk or file system error. I must say recently after running a manual virus scan (McAfee) a virus was detected. It stated it cannot be cleaned and should be deleted. What have I done by deleting. Apparently it had a direct effect on the sys. reg. How can I restore the file? Can someone offer some help? Please.

First you must delete this line in the registry:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"sys"="regedit /s sys.reg"Then you can definitely delete the file sys.reg.
In this way windows will not search sys. reg file anymore and all will work well.

Sys.reg is not a legitimate file. The error message may be a residual symptom of the virus your system had. What was the name of the virus that was found and how did you remove it?
