See if the following KB article helps as it shows how to copy registry files
from System Restore snapshots to restore the registry. I have done it
several times with good results for systems with registry corruption
problems.

This is XP Pro. Cannot delete in safe mode or diagnostic mode. This key is
the first key in ENUM so the device manager is blank. Tried to do a
restore
point back to a week earlier, no help. Tried to do an inplace OS repair,
stops at 33 minutes, log reports unable to read Enum. Found this key, that
I
can not delete as there is no security tab. If possible it looks like my
only
choice is to somehow export the registry, which will not export this key
because it does not have permissions, then load up the new exported
registry.
I have searched for days and have not found anyway to delete this key. Or
if
I could edit a restore point registry and then restore it that way. Not
sure
how to continue at this point. I purchase a case with Microsoft, but the 3
techs I talked to had less knowledge about this problem than I do. I have
tried there fixes which were basic stuff and no help. I am at a loss here.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thank you for your help
If this is XP Home, try from Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode, boot the
computer into Safe Mode. Do this by repeatedly tapping the F8 key as the
computer is starting up. This will get you to the right menu. Navigate
using your Up arrow key; the mouse will not work here.
