windows 98 restart

When windows is booting up i get this error massage .Windows found an error
in your system files and restored a recent back-up of the files to fix the
problem.Then it tells you to restart,but nothing happens but the same
massage, over an over ,thanks in advance.

The most likely cause of this error is a hardware failure of some sort, such
as RAM or disk. You should run some diagnostics to check that the hardware
is operating properly.

Troubleshooting Windows 98 Startup Problems

If that does not identify the problem, try unplugging all unnecessary
peripherals from the system, such as printer, scanner etc. Then boot to
safe mode and see if the problem still occurs. If you can run the system
properly in safe mode then you can try re-booting to normal mode.

Error Message: You Have Restored a Good Registry...
...........Quote.............
SYMPTOMS
When you start your computer, you may receive the following error
message:

You have restored a good registry. Windows found an error in your system
files and restored a recent backup of the files to fix the problem.
When you restart your computer, you may receive the error message again.

CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the registry backup file you are trying to
restore is damaged, or if the "damage" flag in the currently used
registry file is not being reset by the Registry Checker tool.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, run the Registry Checker tool using the /fix and
/opt command-line switches. To do so, follow these steps:

(1) Restart your computer, press and hold down the CTRL key until the
Windows 98 Startup menu appears, and then choose Command prompt only.

(2)At the command prompt, type scanreg /fix, and then press ENTER.

NOTE: The /fix command-line switch causes the Registry Checker tool to
repair any damaged portions of the registry.

(3) After the Registry Checker tool finishes repairing the registry,
press ENTER.

(4) At the command prompt, type scanreg /opt, and then press ENTER.

NOTE: The /opt command-line switch causes the Registry Checker tool to
optimize the registry by removing unused space.

(5) Restart your computer.

If the behavior persists, attempt to restore a different registry backup
file using the /restore command-line switch, or see the following
article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/186909
Registry Checker Continues to Detect Registry Damage
...........EOQ...............

That article 186909 speaks of RAM damage & what to do.
