Looking at my instructions again, I see the command doesn't all show on the same
line. My apologies. (no problem about the name goof. :-)
There must be a space before the slash SCANREGW /RESTORE
Btw, the command isn't case sensitive. And... Just in case, I'll post the instructions
for booting to command prompt to do this. Note that in order for this to work, ScanRegistry
must be in startup.
You'll need a ME startup diskette (boot disk). If you don't have one, you can create
one. (It would be good to have one on hand, regardless). To create a disk: Get a
blank floppy diskette, go into Add/Remove programs. Click Startup Disk tab, then
stick the floppy disk in drive and choose Create disk. Then boot with the startup
disk in the floppy drive.
At the A:\> prompt, type: C: scanreg /restore then press Enter. Choose a backup
with the word Started, dated before this happened.
Note space after C: {space}, but it should work with or without the space before
the slash.
You should get a message that Windows successfully restored the registry. Then CTRL_ALT_DEL
to get back into Windows.
