Receive a Server Error message when opening a localhost website

| All of a sudden, I am getting an error when I open any local websites for
development.
Server Error: Error 5 opening registry key "\SOFTWARE\Classes\.awm"
Coincidentally, it started after I installed trial of Likno All Web Menus 4.0.
I can open remote sites and edit file-based sites fine, so my guess is it is
a 2002 Server extensions issue, but I can't resolve it.

| First thing I would try is uninstalling the trial of Likno All Web Menus
4.0, reboot and see what happens.

| I started getting this same problem last week after installing the latest
security updates from Microsoft.
I have tried everything imaginable to solve it. Nothing works.
Basically, everytime I install any new software, the next time I try to open
a local web in FrontPage, I get the same error message that you get except
that the part after "classes\" is related to whatever software I just
installed.
Sometimes if I uninstall the software that I just installed, the problem
goes away.
I have:
1) Reinstalled IIS and the extensions;
2) Reinstalled FrontPage 2003;
3) Cleaned my registry with RegSeeker.
Nothing works.
Fortunately, I have created restore points that allow me to go back to a
point where the problem doesn't exist.
Near the end of last week, I had to restore my drive from a Norton Ghost
backup because my restore points had become corrupt.
I think there was something rotten in the lates MS security updates.

| I found a fix I believe.
1) I removed the FrontPage server extensions using the Control Panel - Add
Remove Programs - Windows Components - IIS - Details.
2) Then, I downloaded the Front Page 2002 server extensions from the MS
Office web and installed them.
3) I don't know whether this last step was necessary but I went to the IIS
administration console, selected Default Web Site and from the right-click
shortcut menu recalculated Server Extensions 2002 Web.
I was then able to open a local web in FP without the "error 5 opening
registry key..." error.
So, the problem was the server extensions. The question is what messed them
up. The MS security updates?
