Requesting solutionsWin98 problems
I am using Windows 98 SE since couple of years.After some time of
use,often windows gets corrupted.Then PC needs frequent rebooting or else windows crashesh frequently or stops responding. Inspite doing Scan Disk or Defrag,no significant improvement is seen. In this case most of the software/hardware consultants advice to format C drive and reinstall Win 98 SE.However this is very time consuming and like a nightmare. 1.Which measures I should take to have hasslesfree performance without format,rebooting and reinstallations? 2.Is there any FREE,but reliable registry Cleaner , if so where can I get it? Thank you in advance. Dhananjay Pathak |

om... I am using Windows 98 SE since couple of years.After some time of use,often windows gets corrupted.Then PC needs frequent rebooting or else windows crashesh frequently or stops responding. Inspite doing Scan Disk or Defrag,no significant improvement is seen. In this case most of the software/hardware consultants advice to format C drive and reinstall Win 98 SE.However this is very time consuming and like a nightmare. 1.Which measures I should take to have hasslesfree performance without format,rebooting and reinstallations? So long as you are sure you are virus free etc. just reinstal the OS. It takes about 40 min.: no nightmare.] 2.Is there any FREE,but reliable registry Cleaner , if so where can I get it? / start / run / REGEDIT.EXE (1) Save the Registry in case you need to restore it (2) Scroll through the keys and delete all you are positive are either absent or unwanted or harmful. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

There are no good registry cleaners out there, imo. A user must study the
registry in depth to figure out how to edit it and always have a back-up if they make a mistake and erase a critical registry entry.

"peter" wrote in message ... no, formatting is the fastest way of fixing problems! and i suggest u use it once a month even if u dont have problems because it makes the pc run much faster No Windows expert recommends reformatting the driive (and reinstalling OS and all apps) every month. Find a web source trusted by many users e.g. http://home.satx.rr.com/badour/html/how_to.html and then clean up your system. I think Mr.Badour says somewhere you need to reinstal less often than once a year. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

If the user is smart and has their system well-figured out then they can
format and reinstall about every three years and I usually aim for that goal.
