Registry problems in win 98 |
Back to old good Windows 98. I had big problem recently, Windows 98 SE boots-up, then Registry checker starts saying that Windows found problem in registry and this problem has been fixed, reboots, and boom. Again Registry checker again reboot. Endless loop of registry checking. Boot to safe mode goes the same. Tried step by step confirmation, when said no to Process registy everythings went fine. Windows 98 booted up normally, but if registry checker starts - again endless loop :/ So I disabled Reg checker. Just open Msdos.sys (step by step confirmation process registry no, or boot to ms-dos mode and edit it with some dos editor) and add
SystemReg=0in options section:
[Paths]
WinDir=C:WINDOWS
WinBootDir=C:WINDOWS
HostWinBootDrv=C
[Options]
BootMulti=1
BootGUI=1
SystemReg=0
;
;The following lines are required for compatibility with other programs.
;Do not remove them (MSDOS.SYS needs to be >1024 bytes).

If SystemReg value exists, change it to zero. Win98 booted normally. Just to ensure, that everything's ok with Registry go to: Start -> Run , type msconfig, go to Tools -> Registry check.
