- Can you boot into safe mode with command prompt?

So you are OK now, except the menu speed is too slow (as before)?
Hard to say what happened there - perhaps you didn't enter the registry edit correctly.
Try downloading TweakUI for XP and use it to change menu speed (as noted in the Win Ann article you mentioned)?

You must have edited the wrong key, or did something else wrong. Applying that tweak wouldn't cause a serious problem like that. You said the value was set to 198, but... if the default value is 400, how would it have gotten set to 198 in the first place?

yes i,m ok. i have windows powertoys and it doesn't have a slide to adjust speed

In TweakUI for XP, look on its "Mouse" page or section for the menu speed slider.
