re: illegal operation message at start Friday, December 19, 2003 at 6:07 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by mark (1036 messages posted) Did you install any software before this message occurred? One possible solution: Reboot, holding down the Control key. When the Startup Menu appears, pick the option to start with the Command Prompt(which is C:>). Then when that comes up, type in Scanreg/restore which allows you to pick a date when the registry was in good working order.
