>When I first installed Visual Studio 6 I was warned about needing to increase the size of my Registry File settings so it could hold more info. It said to see the Help for this issue and nowhere was it to be found! Image That! Well now that I have tried to install more apps it is now giving me errors of "Unable To Update System Registry Error 168".

Unless I'm mistaken or something has changed in later Win95 versions you can't change the size of the Registry. This was corrected in Win98 and WinNT can change it also. In WinNT, you change the size in the Virtual Memory settings area in Control Panel/System. My Win98 machine is home and I have never tried on it so maybe someone else here with a Win98 machine can say how it's done on Win98.
