Xu,
 In my experience, this means t\tou have more than one SAS session running
at the same time. The first one locks the registry and the second puts out
this warning message, usually at startup time. Look at thhe very beginning
of you session log. It could also be due to some other process on your
system locking the registry, but this less likely. In most cases, you can
ignore the message although I am not familiar with SurveySelect.
 HTH,
