I can't get Windows Me to startup. I get the startup menu with the choices
for 1-normal, 2-logged, 3-safe mode, 4-step by step.

It says there's a registry configuration error and to scanreg to correct
this error.

How can I do this? I have a recovery disc, but when i tried to run that, it
said that the recovery disc would erase all the information on the harddrive,
which I can't afford to have happen.

Is there anything I can do to fix the problem without going to a
professional? Thanks for your assistance.
