Jean - exactly what did you try? - are you still getting the same error?
(occasionally the number will change after applying the fix, and I for one missed the change at least once!) try this...

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but doing the
scanreg/ fix in run doesn't work either a error message comes up and says cannot find scanreg or even scanreg/ fix, wish that had worked. When I went to www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/HSfails.htm it came up ok,but couldn't find any answer to the problem and to try different message,etc. Thanks for trying,but don't give up as I need your help.

When you tried scanreg /fix did you type it as you have put in your post
with the / after the g if so you need to try again but with a space between the g and the / See if that works Joan Jean wrote: I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but doing the scanreg/ fix in run doesn't work either a error message comes up and says cannot find scanreg or even scanreg/ fix, wish that had worked.

Joan, putting the space afer the g did work, however this
is what came up: Windows Registry Checker Usage: scanreg [/options] options ? = display usage backup = backup the registry & related sys. conf. files restore = choose a backup to restore fix= repair the registry comment = "comment" = adds the specified comment to the cab file while backing up That doesn't tell me anything, but maybe it tells you something. Need you to tell me what I should do next. Thanks for putting up with me,but i'm completely lost.

the correct command is SCANREG /FIX use that, and the system should reboot (as you'd have seen, if you'd cut/pasted as suggested on the page. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Jean" wrote in message ...
