How do I correct the following error messages
(OP)
1. On start-up I receive the err "failed to update the system registry". After clicking ok - the software does boot.
2. Anytime I try to change a feature I receive this message "Unable to open master database due to the following database access error: operation is not allowed when the object is closed"
Any thoughts

2) Is the "feature" you mention within a SW part?

RE: How do I correct the following error messages
It sounds like a mess in your registry, and I'd bet you've got a hole wizard and / or Toolbox problem to go along with it.
The easy way to start would be to simply delete the local user part of your SW registry and see if it runs ok with default settings. Barring that being a quick fix, I would just plan on reinstalling because it could be a week long research problem.
Lots of things can cause stuff like this. A bad service pack installation, a bad uninstall of some unrelated software, or overzealous registry cleaning software, even antivirus software. I've heard of a lot of Windows user profiles (user registry settings) getting hosed causing problems with SW.
Anyway, the simple answer is to reinstall and "don't ask why".
