Regedit returns error, and 'Run' opens 'Search Results'

Hi there,
For some reason, recently, the Registry Editor (regedit) has started displaying the 
following error message whenever I run it, or whenever a different program tries 
to open it :
This program has performed an illegal operation and will be terminated. Quit all 
programs and then restart your computer.

If the program consistently encounters problems, click the Start button, then select 
Help, Troubleshooting, and 'If you have trouble running MS-DOS programs',

However... if I run 'regedit.exe' it opens, so I am assuming that there is a regedit.com 
somewhere, however I am hesitant to reomve it, as I do not know much about how Windows 
works... I am more familiar with DOS and OS/2

Also, whenever I use the 'Run' option on the start menu, and type a directory adress 
in, it opens a blank 'Search results' page,
Any advice on how to sort this out would be appreciated
Thanks in advance,
