I am using Windows 98SE.

I have a problem when I boot the machine.

I get a message saying that windows has detected an error in the registry,
which it can fix, and please restart the machine to have windows fix this
problem.

So I click on OK to reboot, and when the Windows restsrts - guess what?! -
the same message, Windows has........, click OK to restart the machine.


How can I get out of this loop, and use Windows again. ?

You can check out the other messages in the NG about this problem. In the
meantime, just press CTRL-ALT-DELETE and when the dialogue box comes up,
click on "Registry Checker" and press "End task".

Hello, you know to check to see if you have any backups if your windows
to go to. At the dos prompt type scanreg it will bring up a blue screen
and says that it is check you registry. then if will have 3 options at
the bottom of the screen 1. Create a backup 2. View a backup 3. Quit
choose option 2 to see what you have look for the most current registry
by date. Remember that the registry keeps info on programs and hardware
you install so you may need to reinstall something.
