Registry won't stay open (newbie to forum)

[Whiplashdave]

Hello people, my name is David. I got the old can't get the registry to stay open problems. Iv'e run Spybot, like I do once every few days and it won't fix the problem. I ran Housecall and it found and let me delete a few trojans, yet it didn't fix the registry. I know you can change the name of regedit.exe but would rather not do that yet. Here is my Hijackthis log for ya to take a look at. Housecall says that memchk.exe (memory check) is a trojan, should I delete that too ? Let me know anything else you see, but I would love to be able to get back in my registry. Im running windows 98 by the way. Yes im poor and using an old puter..lol...Thanks !!
