newbie help: regedit cannot edit !

[Alfredo P. Ricafort]

Hi,

I just installed wine in my RH9 machine using an src rpm downloaded from
sourceforge.  In short, wine is locally compiled.  

I'm having problem running MS Office 2000.  When I try to run it, it
gives an error messages saying that  "Required Registry Information Is
Missing...".  

So I tried looking at the registry using regedit.  When I tried to
modify some of the entries, I can't.  Is it suppose to be this way? I
thought that is what regedit is suppose to do - edit the registry. Also,
I noticed that the color of the folders displayed are red. Does this
have any meaning?

Thanks.
