Did you rename the reg backup at all?

It just looking at it the date looks a bit wrong, for instance I have one which shows

cc_20081102_085029.reg Taken on the 2nd of Nov 2008

Yours shows the year as 2208

Have you tried opening regedit and doing file >import and selecting your backup?

Have you checked your reg file association is working okay?

It could be a Permission issue with the registry.

I had that situation on my XP Pro system and it had nothing to do with SP3 which is working fine for me.

What I had to do was download Dial-A-Fix then run it and insure that Policies... had no entries:

I also had to get SubInACL.exe from Microsoft to enable some Permissions that were locked:

I hope you are trying this with an Administrator's Log in and not a User Log in.
