Removing Nero
I recently upgraded from Win 98 to Win 98SE
Well, not really --since i wasn't able to get an upgrade edition, I had to reinstall from scratch. But when I tried to reinstall Nero (which came with my CD writer) the INCD formatting option would not install. It never worked properly anyway. When I tried to uninstall it, however, it seems that it did not uninstall properly either. When I reboot, it often takes about 2 hours of pressing the reset button because of the message "Windows protection error. You must restart your computer" before Windows will actually load. I checked with Norton Untilities, and found the following message: The key, "NeroUDFType\shell\open\command," refers to an invalid command entry, "C:\PROGRA~1\AHEAD\NERO\NERO.EXE "%1"." When I tried to correct it by deleting the invalid registry entry, it reported "Repaid failed". Does anyone know how to make the repair succeed, other than reformatting the disk, reinstalling Windows, and destroying the Nero installation disk so I'm never tempted to install it again? -- Steve Hayes from Tshwane, South Africa http://www.geocities.com/Athens/7734/stevesig.htm E-mail - see web page, or parse: shayes at dunelm full stop org full stop uk |

Removing Nero
Replace the registry with a back up that predates the installation of Nero.
If this problem is less than five days old, restore a copy of the registry that predates the onset of the problem and see if that helps. The five-day limit assumes that the computer is booted every day. If it is not booted every day, you may have an old enough registry backup that you can use even though more than five days have elapsed. Note that any registry changes made after the date of the restored registry will be lost. Ways of restoring the W98 registry include: On the Start Menu, select Shut Down and Restart in MSDOS Mode. At the Windows prompt, type: scanreg /restore and hit enter. Boot to the boot menu by holding down either the ctrl or F8 key after the ram count occurs on the boot screen. Select Command Prompt Only and at the C: prompt, type: scanreg /restore and hit enter. Boot with the W98 start up floppy disk--CDRom support doesn't matter. At the A: prompt, type: C: and hit enter. At the C: prompt, type: CD Windows\Command and hit enter. At the Command prompt, type: scanreg /restore and hit enter. Once the registry restore screen appears, select the date of the registry that you wish to restore by highlighting it and then click enter. If you see a registry named: Rbbad.cab, that is a copy of the registry that has already been replaced. -- 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 "Steve Hayes" wrote in message ...
