98 is stuck.help!

relroy · 10-02-2006, 03:05 AM

win 98 was workin perfectly but after i installed a few games and after uninstalling turned it off.when i started it again i got a black screen with abt 6 options like safe mode,command prompt and a suggestion to run in safe mode and scan reg.but this didnt work.it got stuck in the scanreg screen.then i tried start win normally but got a message that it might result in unstable system.so do i run it anyway or should i reinstall 98(i dont have my cd right now!)or is there some command prompt method which might work?

Ok, then. Did you try just safe mode? You might want to reinstall all of your drivers if you can get in to safe mode.

If this doesn't work, then yes, I would try rebuilding.

Looks like I'm a little late to this thread, but the first thing to try is to choose "Command Prompt" on the boot menu, and the type "scanreg/restore" (without the quotes), to see if there is a working back-up.
