Go back to a good copy of the registry .
Toggle F8 ( when , verifying DMI pool message comes on ) or Press
Ctrl during bootup , depends on your computer .Select , Safe mode Command prompt
After the C prompt , type , scanreg /restore
Follow the prompts and select a registry dated prior to the problems .
