SYMPTOMS

Certain registry operations may cause the registry size that is reported in the user interface to be miscalculated. The operations that lead to this condition do not commonly occur. However, if this condition does occur, the reported current registry size becomes inflated. If this variable reaches the maximum registry size limit, Windows 2000 does not allow further registry expansion.
