Using v 4.20. I tried replacing the string as suggested. I still get the same error "Array reference out of bounds". With this mod, the other reg key search fails as well with an "unknown command [74BE21DBFDBD3D11EBAE000ACC725290]! with 74BE21DBFDBD3D11EBAE000AC highlighted.

The reason why I suspected the problem is with the number is that if I search for virusprotect I get a result. Problem is it finds HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\New User Settings\PowerPoint\Options,MacroVirusProtection and not HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intel\LanDesk\VirusProtect6!

Why? (and why me??!)
