Close any application that might have an open handle to the registry checkpoint indicated by the event. This will allow the registry key to be replicated as configured with the resource properties. If necessary, contact the application vendor about this problem.

You can use a utility called Handle with the -a option to view handles to the registry. For information and download instructions for Handle, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=105134.
