The computer I'm trying to fix boots up and lets you log in and everything works
fine but a message comes up saying something about the registry had a problem with
some files and to restart windows. Well, every time I restart, the same message
keeps coming up. I had tried to install AOL off of one of those free hours CD's
and then this happened. Everything seems to still be working fine and I can still
use my computer. I just can't close out that message or fix the registry problem.
Can anyone help?!? Windows 95 doesn't have a restore option, or I would do that.

That's a sign of bad/loose RAM cards or a CPU overheat. Unplug the machine, remove
the cover and reseat the RAM cards. Then with the cover off, plug it in, turn it
on and check to see if the CPU fan works. ( little fan on the heatsink on the CPU,
not the power supply fan ) If it doesn't work replace it immediately/before trying
to use the pc again.
