  • this doesn't work on my laptop, when i click 'Recycle' (it is all copy, pasted.) i click yes to the first one, then the second one comes up with an error saying it cannot import it because 'The specified file is not a registry script. You can only import binary registry files from within the registry editor.' What does this mean? I am running Windows XP 64Bit Service Pack 3. Please PM me if you know why this is. Yes, i know this is a three year old video and yes i know there is better OS'S now.
