Windows 98 won't start.
I uninstalled gozilla and it messed up the registry. It deleted the
COMMAND folder and scanreg.. I finally ran registry restore from 98se C.D Windows now boots then goes to dos and has a C: prompt. What do I type to get windows to finally start? Thanks in advance for your help. |

I don't know how you restored the registry from the CD--try it using a W98
floppy start up disk: 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 "bubbadillo" wrote in message ups.com...
