Windows Me - Safe mode, scanreg, boot disks Started by wishoosier , May 26 2005 10:21 AM Please log in to reply 8 replies to this topic #1 wishoosier wishoosier Members 8 posts OFFLINE Local time:06:52 PM Posted 26 May 2005 - 10:21 AM My computer is booting into safe mode, telling me that I need to run SCANREG in order to fix a problem with the registry. But the version of safe mode it goes into gives me a gray screen, and no use of any buttons, so I cannot actually DO anything. Another board suggested downloading and using a boot disk for the A: drive, and then going into the system and fixing whatever's wrong. Directions on HOW to use the bootdisk are sketchy. How do I instruct the machine to boot from the A: drive? I have a 4 yr-old Dell. I press F2 to enter setup. On the other board, I was told to hit F11 or delete to enter "BIOS".

Since it has such a shady existence, what should we do when it breaks? To safeguard the Registry’s continued performance within Windows 95, users would have to play hit-and-miss in many instances to find and correct any errors with the Registry. If all else failed, a restoration of SYSTEM.DAT and USER.DAT would follow. It’s not a pretty sight. Although Windows 95 was kind enough to back up the Registry, the restoration process required some serious research. With the introduction of Windows 98, Microsoft has added a new utility, Registry Checker, which performs backups when users want them and makes restorations of the Registry much easier than Windows 95 did.What Registry Checker can do for youLike Windows 95, Windows 98 makes a copy of the Registry each day after a proper startup. In Windows
those enhancements which should make using Windows 98 more user friendly is the ScanReg Registry Checker. Each day, after a successful boot, a backup copy of your registry is created (containing the System.dat, User.dat, System.ini and Win.ini files). By default Windows 98 allows you to keep up to 5 copies (rb???.cab - rb???.cab) of your registry (which are saved in the \Windows\Sysbckup folder by default), saved in Windows cabinet files (*.cab). When Windows notices a problem with your registry, it will automatically replace the registry with a backup copy. The good thing about this new feature is that you can easily restore a previous registry "by hand": Start Windows in MS-DOS mode (press the Ctrl key as soon as your PC starts. This will get you the Bootup menu. Once the menu is up, choose Command prompt only) Type Scanreg /restore at the prompt You will get a screen where you can select which registry backup to use Choose your backup and press Restore When ready you'll be prompted to Restart your computer If you receive an Out of Memory error message when you try to run Scanreg with the /restore (or /fix) switch, you need to free conventional memory. ScanReg needs 340KB or more conventional memory, depending on the size of the registry and the amount of damage. To increase the amount of free conventional memory, restart your computer, press and hold down the Ctrl key until the Windows 98 Startup menu appears, and then choose Safe mode command prompt only. Then, run Scanreg.exe with the /fix or /restore switch. Now for those of us who regularly install Shareware programs, only to find after a day that the don't bring what we expected, this is a great way to keep the registry clean. Before you install a new piece of software, run ScanReg (click Start > Run and type scanreg in the Open dialog box. Windows will scan your registry, and when it doesn't find any errors, will prompt you to back-up your registry. At this stage you would choose Yes. Now if you find after a day that you don't like the program you installed, just uninstall the program in the normal way (see the help- or readme file accompanying the program) and restore the registry you made just before you installed the program, using the method described above.
