If this problem is less than five days old, restore a copy of the
registry that predates the onset of the problem and see if that helps.
The five-day limit assumes that the computer is booted every day. If it
is not booted every day, you may have an old enough registry backup that
you can use even though more than five days have elapsed.
Ways of restoring the W98 registry include:
On the Start Menu, select Shut Down and Restart in MSDOS Mode. At the
Windows prompt, type: scanreg /restore and hit enter.
Boot to the boot menu by holding down either the ctrl or F8 key after
the ram count occurs on the boot screen. Select Command Prompt Only and
at the C: prompt, type: scanreg /restore and hit enter.
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.
