Trying to clean the registry of windows is akin to patching holes in a sinking ship using cream cheese. I would suggest a clean reinstall of everything (including the OS), though a good place to delete would be HKLM\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\6.0 and any other VB related ones if you're feeling destructive. When you insert the VB CD if the options are available you could also try doing an Uninstall or Repair; System Restore is also an option.
