Hi.  A copy of the document would be great so I can try to help you narrow
down the problem.  My first guess would be the registry editing that you
have done.  Removing the POSIX and OS/2 subsystems shouldn't interfere
with any applications, in fact for C2 certification they need to be
removed.  Anyway, try to get a copy of that PDF to me and I can try to
figure out what might have caused your boxes to malfunction.
