I think the next part of the message says "Run Scanreg /Fix", so....

Boot from your EmergencyBootDisk and type

A:\> SCANREG /FIX

The EBD is the floppy disk you made when you installed Windows. If you
don't have one (and if the machine you're currently using isn't WinME),
you can download a program to make one from

www.bootdisk.com (choose the WinME OEM)

make it on the computer you're using to post these messages then run it
on your machine.

SCANREG/FIX fixes the registry, it's not going to change or set free any
of your files.
