    Hi Patrick,

    Usually I set client variable storage method to store the information in a database (access.mdb file or SQL db). Suggest read this detail:

    I would strongly recommend against using an Access database for client variable storage, as the database file will tend to grow over time and become very slow to query, even though records are deleted. I ran into a situation where someone had a 2GB Access database with a couple hundred records!

    Interesting Dave,

    Do you find similar problem if using SQL db instead of access.mdb file?

    Thanks, Carl.

    Can you open the registry directly using regedit.exe? If so, just try deleting that key. If not, you may have to export the registry hive to another machine with enough memory to open the registry hive in regedit.exe, edit the hive, then import it back to the original machine.
