just looking at my registry (i backedup by going export, clicking all, and just saving it as reg_backup.reg on my desktop)

all the dlls are followed by a type (either REG_DWORD or REG_SZ), and then a data, all the data say either 0x00000001 and a number in brackets (all either 1,2,3,10 or 999), but a couple just say 2

none of them just say 0
