If there is a details button on the error message, click it and post that
message here verbatim (registers not required). In any case, I would do a complete scan of the drive with an up to date anti virus program followed by a malware hunt with updated versions of: AdAwa http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ CWShredder: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html (download link near the bottom) Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/ -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "bko_flower191" wrote in message ... whenever i try to open regedit, it gives following error message "This program has performed an illegal operation & will be terminated, quit all proagrams & restart windows.The program tried to execute an invalid instruction" However even afer restarting the windows, problem is still there.What should i do? |

Try using sfc to extract a fresh copy of "regedit.exe" from your Windows =
98 CD to the "C:\Windows" folder. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q129...22120121120120 Ben "bko_flower191" wrote in = message ... whenever i try to open regedit, it gives following error message "This = program has performed an illegal operation & will be terminated, quit = all=20 proagrams & restart windows.The program tried to execute an invalid=20 instruction" = However=20 even afer restarting the windows, problem is still there.What should i = do? |
