window registry checker error message

I continuously have an error message that I do not know
how to get rid of. It states "Windows encountered an
error accessing the system registry. Windows will restart
and repair the system registry for you." Click "OK" So I
click "OK" The system reboots and the error message
appears again. I can run my system but the error message
will not go away. Please help.

This error is often caused by bad or failing memory modules (RAM). Have
yours tested at a shop with a hardware module tester or try substituting
known-good memory.

There have been some reports in the past of MSN Messenger causing the
problem.
