This will only work if the path to your system32 folder is
C:\windows\system32 if it is anything else then don't run it, let me know
what the path is and I will change the file.

Cut and paste everything between the lines and paste it into notepad. Save
the file as ql2.reg and save it to the desktop. make sure you change the
save as type.... drop down box to all files. Once saved double click on the
file to merge it into the registry. Reboot.
