Windows 98 won't start.

[bubbadillo]

I uninstalled gozilla and it messed up the registry. It deleted the
COMMAND folder and scanreg.. I finally ran registry restore from 98se
C.D
Windows now boots then goes to dos and has a C: prompt. What do I type
to get windows to finally start?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Try: Win

Thanks Ron but it didn't help. Just get "Bad File Name" response.

I don't know how you restored the registry from the CD--try it using a W98
floppy start up disk:

Boot with the W98 start up floppy disk--CDRom support doesn't matter. At
the A: prompt, type: C: and hit enter. At the C: prompt, type: CD
Windows\Command and hit enter. At the Command prompt, type: scanreg
/restore and hit enter.

Once the registry restore screen appears, select the date of the registry
that you wish to restore by highlighting it and then click enter. If you
see a registry named: Rbbad.cab, that is a copy of the registry that has
already been replaced.
