problems with registry
Posted by W E B G U R L on August 16th, 2003


Each time I boot up, windows informs me there is problems with the registry
and tells me it is going to fix it and restarts. next day does the same and
so on.

how on earth do I fix this for good? should I try to repair from the
add/remove section?

Add this line to your config.sys file

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:ON

If you recieve a memory error during POST (bootup) try swapping you
RAM for known good module(s)
Don't forget to delete it afterwards.

[Could sure use some of your QLD UV at the moment, its freezing down
here in the Bight !!!]

Have a look here. It may indicate some bad ram or hardware difficulties.
Back up your important files.

Besides what has already been mentioned, if you recently updated MSN
Messenger, it could be the cause. Also see this article if Norton AV is
installed:
