I am running Win 98 SE and kept getting a registry problem.  While allowing window to fix it, it was one problem after another.  So I FDISK the drive, formatted it, then reinstalled windows again.  Now when I boot up, yet again saying Registry problem will restart and fix.  It restarts and never fixes, just getting the same message.  Do I have a problem with the mother board?  Maybe the Hard Drive is bad?  I don't know what to do.  It is an old computer 133 Mhz, 32 MB, 1.9 GB hard drive.  It has had 98 SE on it for over 6 months with no problems.  Any help would be appreciated.
 
what do you install last that gives you this error? <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in : C++(both VC++ and Borland),VB1(dos) thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, HTML, Visual InterDev 6(ASP(WebProgramming/Vbscript)<br>
 
Nothing.&nbsp;&nbsp;Error just started to occur.&nbsp;&nbsp;Nothing was add or deleted.&nbsp;&nbsp;Like I said I finally decided to reinstall the system and formated the drive and install Windows.&nbsp;&nbsp;Even had a problem installing windows, had to reboot twice because program locked up.
 
have you checked your rams or processor health lately? <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in : C++(both VC++ and Borland),VB1(dos) thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, HTML, Visual InterDev 6(ASP(WebProgramming/Vbscript)<br>
 
Sounds to me like a memory problem. Try to borrow some other memory and reinstall. If it is OK you have solved your problem <p>Al<br><a href=mailto: atc-computing@home.com> atc-computing@home.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
Hi,<br>It is a hardware problem, please check your Ram. Your may try to install that program with other ram and determine the cause.
 
I have a question. After fdisking the drive, reformatting and reinstalling '98 did the '98 installation ever finish? That is, did you ever get the &quot;Welcome to Windows '98&quot; startup box?<br><br>I may be off-base here but it seems that if you had correctly formatted the drive there would not have been a registry left on the drive for Windows to complain about.<br><br>1) Do you have more than one logical partition on the physical boot drive?<br><br>2) Were there errors you neglected to mention?<br> <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= plain black box</a><br>
 
One possible solution, is to Boot to ms_dos prompt (command line only). RUN SCANREG /RESTORE to restore an old copy of the registry.
