My computer shut down on me last night in the middle of recording (i

Start the computer, tap the F8 key repeatedly until the startup menu
appears and select "Command Prompt". Then type "scanreg /restore", press "Enter" and restore a registry that predates the problem. Ben wrote in message oups.com...

need help please!!!! on win 98 himem.sys is missing
Thanks so much!!!! The computer comes up now but in normal mode the
screen just turns white and does not change. When I get into safe mode all my files are there. My main objective is to get into the system long enough to back my files up to a disk. As long as I do that then I could go ahead and do a complete reformat, but I really really need to save these files.. And when I'm in safe mode adaptec does not work and the computer does not recognize any other drive besides the main drive and the A drive.

Hi Ron,
Thanks for your help! I tried doing this last night but it kept telling giving me an error file does not exist. I was able to get into Windows in normal mode for a split second before the screen just turned white and would not do anything else. When trying to restart using ctrl alt del it says "msvgr32 not responding". I just need to back up my files to a cd then I want to completely reformat the computer, but when in safe mode it does not recognize my D drive.

Are you posting from some other computer? If so, I would remove the drive
from the ailing computer and temporarily hook it up to the ribbon cable that goes to your CDRom drive on the other PC. Then you could use Explorer to transfer the files from the old drive to the other drive or you can burn a CD if the other PC has a burner. -- 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 wrote in message oups.com...

Please confirm that you tried restoring a previous registry.
