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
