Message to Curt - Windows 98 attempting to load then fails

Curt,
Sorry for my late reply - tried scanreg /restore and got
bad command or file name message. Any other suggestions?

Hi Martin,
You might try restoring a good copy of your Registry,
*prior* to running
QuickClean.
Re-boot your machine, and hold down the CTRL key until a
menu comes up.
From the options given select "Command Prompt Only"
From the Command prompt type "scanreg /restore" (without
the quotes).
Select a copy of the Registry PRIOR to running
QuickClean. Re-boot your
machine, and see if that cures it. Post back with your
results.
**There is a space between scanreg and the / **
HTH,
Curt

Hi Martin, Did you put a space in the command as I mentioned.
Should be:
scanreg /restore

That is scanreg (space)/restore
You need a space before the / and no space between / and restore.

Hi Martin,
I'm not sure where to respond, as you have two threads going now.
A great deal of us in this NG don't care too much for McAfee products, but
the concern with QC is the Registry Cleaner aspect. All/any "Registry
Cleaners" *must* be run with caution. They have the potential of mucking
things up far worse than no cleaning at all.
HTH,
Curt

Hi Martin,
Give this a try. At the command prompt, type:
cd\windows\command, and then press ENTER.
At the C: prompt, type scanreg /restore, and then press ENTER.
Any luck?

Hi Martin,
This is baffling. I'll keep looking. I'll post back what I find to this
thread.

Hi Martin,
Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you.
Let's try something just slightly different.

1) Re-start your computer, and immediately after the POST press and hold
the Ctrl key until the Start Menu appears
2) Select "Command Prompt Only"
3) At the C:\ type "Scanreg/restore" without the quotes. Note the
uppercase S and no space necessary between scanreg and the /. After you
have typed that press "Enter" on your keyboard.
4) You should be presented with 5 copies of previous Registries. Select
one by date, not by file name. Do NOT select any entry beginning with
"RBAD"
Please post back Martin, and let me know how it goes.
