"I found the registry was corrupted. This time the registry seems OK."
You say YOU found this corrupt registry. Let's hope no registry cleaner was used otherwise I'll just say reinstall the OS again and try it the way it came from HP.

I am using Win 7 64-bit Professional on an HP Pavialion dv7 with CA Security Suite.
Tournament Director 2 runs great once than not again. It will not start in any compatability setting. It ran great on the same machine with Vista 64.
The program's tech support and forum all report no problems with Win 7 but this has happened twice.
The first time, I found the registry was corrupted. This time the registry seems OK.
Tournament Director is an HTML program. Any suggestions.
