Close | Ignore
I tried the solution of deleting the VDD key and re-creating it with a blank value but that made no difference. That was until I found this site that told me to use REGEDT32 instead of REGEDIT as REGEDIT does not allow you to create REG_MULTI_SZ fields (I had been foolishly trying a REG_SZ as it was the nearest available).
Problem Fixed!
