1. REVERT TO A REGISTRY BACKUP

Boot to DOS (using a bootable floppy disk, e.g. from http://www.bootdisk.com) and type the following at the C:\ prompt -

SCANREG /RESTORE

Note the space before the forward slash in this command.

Follow the on-screen instructions, and try to restore the *oldest* backup of the registry (they're listed by date) as that's the one with the best chance of being from before the problem arose.

By default Windows keeps 5 backup copies of the Windows Registry, so that you can go back to before the problem arose.

When an on-screen message tells you that the registry has been successfully restored, restart the computer normally.


2. USE SYSTEM RESTORE

If the above hasn't solved the problem, use Win ME's "system restore" function to return the system to a point before the problem arose, if you have System Restore enabled in your computer.

For details, do a google search on the phrase "System Restore in Windows ME" at http://www.google.com -
