My boss has an IBM Thinkpad 390X that is periodically reposrting a corrupt registry and automatically retrieves and old copy. This fixes the issue for a brief period of time then he gets the message all over again. This is a relatively new PC with Office '97, Lotus Notes, and Visio 2000 on it. Any ideas?

Sometimes, these problems are caused by improperly installed devices. Ask your<br>
boss if he is inserting or removing devices such as floppy drive/CD-ROM drive, PC<br>
Cards, etc., when this problem happens.

I have seen many registry problems like the one you are describing. I would first look at memory being the culprit. Have you ran the memory check to completion from the BIOS???<br>
