Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Disks / File System / June 2004Message to Curt - Windows 98 attempting to load then fails
Curt, Sorry for my late reply - tried scanreg /restore and got bad command or file name message. Any other suggestions? M Hi Martin, You might try restoring a good copy of your Registry, *prior* to running QuickClean. Re-boot your machine, and hold down the CTRL key until a menu comes up. From the options given select "Command Prompt Only" From the Command prompt type "scanreg /restore" (without the quotes). Select a copy of the Registry PRIOR to running QuickClean. Re-boot your machine, and see if that cures it. Post back with your results. **There is a space between scanreg and the / ** HTH, Curt Hi Martin, Did you put a space in the command as I mentioned. Should be: scanreg /restore That is scanreg (space)/restore You need a space before the / and no space between / and restore. Note to other responders: the Original post was on 5-23-2004 in the A.M.

At the command prompt, type: cd\windows\command, and then press ENTER. At the C: prompt, type scanreg /restore, and then press ENTER. Any luck?

Hi Martin, This is baffling. I'll keep looking. I'll post back what I find to this thread.

Let's try something just slightly different. 1) Re-start your computer, and immediately after the POST press and hold the Ctrl key until the Start Menu appears 2) Select "Command Prompt Only" 3) At the C:\ type "Scanreg/restore" without the quotes. Note the uppercase S and no space necessary between scanreg and the /. After you have typed that press "Enter" on your keyboard. 4) You should be presented with 5 copies of previous Registries. Select one by date, not by file name. Do NOT select any entry beginning with "RBAD"> Please post back Martin, and let me know how it goes. -- Curt--and NOT the MVP Curt Christianson (I wish!)

A great deal of us in this NG don't care too much for McAfee products, but the concern with QC is the Registry Cleaner aspect. All/any "Registry Cleaners" *must* be run with caution. They have the potential of mucking things up far worse than no cleaning at all.
