When booting up Win 98, I get a System.INI message
When booting up Win 98, I get a message that
says "System.INI, need to run Windows setup again to find the file." Then the machine shuts down on me. I cannot find the old Win 98 Startup disks. Any ideas? |

When booting up Win 98, I get a System.INI message
Hi Bill,
Re-start your machine, and hold down the CTRL key until you see a boot menu. Select "Command Prompt Only". At the Command Prompt type: scanreg /restore and hit Enter. (That is scanregspace/restore). Select a previous Registry from when the machine was working correctly and restore it, and then re-boot. SYSTEM.INI is one of the files scanreg /restore replaces for you. -- HTH, Curt W98 Support & Discussion: http://dundats.proboards27.com/index.cgi Windows How-tos and and Freewa http://mvps.org/PracticallyNerded/ Windows Help & Discussion: http://forum.aumha.org/ "Bill" wrote in message ...
