Registry is automatically backed up , here is the info & extra to
cover options .

====================================

Toggle F8 ( when , verifying DMI pool message comes on ) or Press
Ctrl during bootup , depends on your computer .

Select , Safe mode Command prompt

After the C prompt , type > scanreg /restore

Follow the prompts and select a registry dated prior to the problems .

This article describes how to restore a backup copy of the Windows 98
or Windows Millennium Edition (Me) registry scanreg /restore
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...port/kb/articles/Q221/5/12.ASP&NoWebContent=1

Restore Operation Failed
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q220878
Microsoft Windows 98
Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition

Start the System Restore Tool from a Command Prompt in Windows XP
(Q304449)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q304449

====================================

To improve on the 5 days MS have on registry backups , use the
Cabrest system below & get 14
days .
http://www.pcnineoneone.com/howto/regback1.html

For those that find the above site confusing , here is what to do .

Alter MaxBackupCopies from 5 to 14 as per instructions at above site
or it can be done this way .
Start > Find > Files or Folders , type scanr in the top space (
Named ) , make sure the 3rd
space ( Look in ) is set to where your operating system is ( usually
C ) & press Enter .
Right click on Scanreg ( C:Windows > configuration settings )
& click on open & change from 5
to 14 . Close & save .

Download the zipped copy of the Batch file from ,
http://www.pcnineoneone.com/downloads/cabrest.zip

Unzip , copy & paste cabrest onto the top of C: in Windows
Explorer .

Delete zip file , or save it on floppy , if you want it for others or
the future .

Print the instructions below & stick on your comp in front of you
, so when you have to go back to a good copy of the registry , you
don't need to search for them .

------------------------------------

Print this & stick it on the computer or in a very visable place
, preferably at eye level .

Toggle F8 ( when , verifying DMI pool message comes on ) or Press
Ctrl during bootup , depends on your computer .

Select , Command prompt only ( NOT Safe mode Command prompt )

Type in cabrest & press Enter , keep answering > y & you
will see a table , which will allow you to select which CAB file to
restore from . So , for example , to restore from rb009 cab , you
look at the table & see 09 corresponds to the letter j . You
type j & Not the number . Follow instructions .

Type win & press Enter ( or ctrl , alt , delete ) to exit .

If after following the instructions to Restore , things arn't still
working , go to an earlier date & try again .

Type win & press Enter ( or ctrl , alt , delete ) to exit .

Download ERU Recovery. This file comes directly from Microsoft Win 95
CD. Works perfect with Win 98. Have used it for many years. I have
uploaded the file here if you do not have the Win 95 CD.

http://s5.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=08B3NXIHU378R3KU2KCM2QY7NS

To use:

Unzip. Make a folder called ERU. Put it onto the root of C:

ex C:\ERU

Move the four files into the folder.

Run eru.exe - no install.

1) Follow the directions.
2) Choose to save the file on a hard drive [ Other directory ], never
save it on a floppy [ Floppy is not large enough ]. The folder should be
no more then 8 characters long and on the root of a hard drive. The
default is c:\erd and will be used for the following example
3) Run the program, Other directory, make sure to check under
the custom tab, all selections should be checked [ Default is all checked
]
4) When finished, you will see " Emergency Recovery creation completed
successfully "
5) backup is now complete.

To recovery Registry backup:

1) Boot with a boot disk or start windows, hit the F8 key on Windows 98
start up, select the last option in the list " Safe mode command prompt
only "
2) Change the directory to c:\ERD . The Dos command to do this is:
Type:" CD ERD " without the quotes. You will see the cursor change from
c:\> to c:\erd>
3) Type " erd " Without the quotes. Answer yes and the Registry will be
recovered.
4) Restart Windows 98 normally.

Give it a go. Question, please post question.
