re: dma check box in system (disk) properties Sunday, December 1, 2002 at 9:39 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by JmC (14166 messages posted) You can either edit the registry changes you made with Regedit, or restore the registry. This would be the easiest: Boot, press and hold the 'CTRL' key to enter the boot menu. Select the 'COMMAND PROMPT ONLY' option and press enter. At the C:\> prompt, type 'SCANREG /RESTORE' and press enter. When the screen appears select a backup with a date before this problem occurred. Finish out the backup process and then reboot.
