I am trying to get rid of the wonderful logon dat appears everydae i power up Windows 98. Tried switching to Windows Logon as the primary logon method, and used the conventional method of giving a user name then giving a blank as the password. However, once i log in, i get a message "illegal operation" and watever, and after it says dat "an error has occurred in your program". Wateva. Juz how to get pass this? When i finally get past all of the above after endless system reboots (more than 20), ScanRegistry will run juz before Windows starts and it unravels all the hard work by restoring a "good" registry! Can anyone help? Thanks!
