Infinite Wow6432Node

I have updated Vista Ultimate X64 with SP1.

Using regedit I see in my register:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFWARE\Wow6432Node\Wow6432Node\Wow6432Node\Wow6432Node\Wow6432Node.......

Making a backup of the register with Wise Registry Cleaner Pro 3.20 results in an backupof about 30 GB!!!!

Have somebody a suggestion to solve the problem (bug in Vista??)?

Yes definatly, You should be fine just deleteing the second Wow6432Node so the registry just uses the first regkey

HCLM\SOFWARE\Wow6432Node\ <delete the rest>

After removing the second Wow6432Node Vista is not working!

It shouldnt because vista does not use any of the sub-keys for itself...

Its clear something has damaged your registry beyond the point of easy repair, try the registry defrag option in Tuneup utilites TuneUp America - TuneUp Utilities 2008 and the registry cleaner also included.

If its still unresolved after running both registry programs you will have to reinstall vista, if not now sometime very soon as it will only get worse unless you can remove these sub-entrys. Let me know how it works out

Thanks for your suggestion.

Using TuneUp does not solve the problem.

I have reinstalled Vista + SP1 + IE8 an deleted the second Wow6432node. Everything is working fine without any problem!
