re: windows protection error Friday, June 13, 2003 at 6:58 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by JmC (14166 messages posted) I feel for you Matt. If the system was up and running long enough to save a Registry backup, you may be able to get back to where you were before the motherboard drivers were installed. Try a Registry restore and if it works, check into the possibility of having the wrong CD/drivers that you installed. 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 dated before this problem occurred. Finish out the backup process and then reboot.
