First go into your BIOS...there should be a "restore system to factory specks" button
there, if so, restore to factory specks...Then boot from a Windows floppy and when
you get the A:\ prompt type in "scanreg/fix" without the quotes and when it is finished,
reboot...If that don't do it, then repeat the boot with floppy and when you get the
A:\ prompt, type in "scanreg/restore" and pick a date before your crash and try that.
If that don't work, you may have to reformat your hard drive and reinstall windows
from scratch...From what you described as the problem, you could have gotten a virus.
