Has anyone seen a problem reading the local registry during service startup
when the system is booting (Windows 2000)? We are sporadically getting
errors that we cannot explain reading registry entries we know exist. If we
restart the service it starts without any problem and it does not happen on
every boot. The error code does not help much as it is either file not
found or invalid handle.

What path in the registry? Different hives become available at
different times.

Maybe you try to read the SOFTWARE registry too early when it is not mounted
yet?

I have seen exactly the problem that the original poster referred to, and it
was associated with boot start devices trying to access their
HKLM\CCS\Services driverkey section. However the problem was sporadic,
appeared to be associated with how the driver was installed, and appeared to
simply vanish with W2K.SP1. We never found the root cause.

We have seen the error on various paths mostly under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software (in one case looking for the install path for
our code, in another looking under Classes\appId).
I should stress that this is an NT WIN32 service not a driver. It
is my understanding that from a service the local registry should always be
available during startup, at least I have not found anything in the MS
documentation that would indicate otherwise. If you or anyone else knows
differently do you know where I can find documentation detailing what is and
is not available and when? It does appear that it may be some kind of
timing issue because most of the time it works fine, just once in a while we
get this unexplained error.

I think the Dekker Newcomer book has some details on what registry keys
become available when.
