Bad registry HELP HELP!!
Hi Carol,
From a DOS prompt, type SCANREG /RESTORE (there is a space between SCANREG and the /), and hit Enter. It should bring up a screen offering you choices of previous "good" copies of your Registry you can restore. Post back and let us know how that works.

My home computer will not boot into Windows. It tells me that the registry is bad. It said to run SCANREG from DOS. I did that but it didn't help. I don't know what to do.) Do I have to reinstall Windows 98? Is it difficult? If I do what will happen to all of the applications I have on the system. I have Windows 98 SE. I have about four years worth of programs on there.

Bad registry HELP HELP!!
I was able to restore an old registry. Now the registry error is gone
but now when I restart it goes into DOS. I get an error "This program cannot be run in DOS mode". I tried 'win /xs' and 'exit' but neither work. The 'win /xs' command gets the same error. I tried renaming the autoexec.bat and config.sys files but got the same error plus "file creation error". Now what? I'm beside myself. "Curt Christianson" wrote in message ...
