Register File MISSING, NEED HELP!

[aaronmcgowan]

Greetings,

I am having a problem with the Microsoft Windows 2000 Operating System. Everytime I try to go onto my computer I get a blue screen that reads:

STOP: c000218 {Registery File Failure}
Can not load hive
Systemroot/System32/Config/SOFTWARE
or its log, alternate.
File is corrupted or absent.

Well, after that appears, it lasts for about 5 seconds max. Then the computer just restarts. How do I fix this so that I can go back and use my computer with Windows 2000. Please if someone could tell me how in step by step formation, that would be great! Thanks!

Thanks in Advance!
