Hi Roger
I found this post on http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=52309 .
I hope this will help you.

" Had this issue after joining my machine to my domain and migrating my local
account to my domain account. Uninstalled/re-install
dropbox and recieved the same "Can't access registry" error, followed by link
to a guild on clearing the Read-only attribute for
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Protect\CREDHIST. This was unsuccessful.
I ended up finding that the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Dropbox key and sub-keys
could not be deleted. To delete them, I used
psexec.exe from PSTools to launch a command prompt under the SYSTEM account:
psexec -s -i \\127.0.0.1 regedit
>From the SYSTEM account regedit, I located the Dropbox key and deleted it (it
>will be under HKEY_Users\one of the long number SID
keys; HCKU is relative to the currently logged in user). If you have any
trouble deleting it, you may have to explicitly grant the
SYSTEM account full-control over it and subkeys; just right-click on it and go
to 'Permissions'.
Alternatively, I suppose that you could also re-create your local user profile
to fix this. Also too, your security software could
be blocking access to that key; disable anything security related and see
whether that key is deletable."

Emne: LF: Dropbox (again)
Well, it appears I am not alone in having recent problems with Dropbox, used
for my occasional VLF grabber, according to posts on
the Dropbox forum.
I have tried EVERYTHING suggested by experts here and on the Dropbox forum to
overcome the "unable to access vital registry
information" box appearing when trying to load it. Versions from 0. 7.110
through to 1.3.9 have been tried, unsuccessfully, and I
have cleared registries, deleted cache files, even deleted my Windows log-on
password for a time (apparently this fixed it for
someone) and deleted and reinstalled the Dropbox software, in various
revisions, more times than I can recall in the past few days.
Now I have given up unless someone can help with a fix that is certain to work.
As I am not a PC or software expert this has really stumped me. It is a pity as
Dropbox was so useful. So, no more occasional VLF
grabber from here until I find the fix or an alternative that is less
problematic.
