HOW TO RESTORE SYSTEM TO PREVIOUS REGISTRY IN WINDOWS 98


1. Start the Computer with Win98 Boot Disk in Floppy A: drive
2. Choose option #2. Start Computer without CD-ROM support
3. At A:\> Prompt, type C: and press [Enter]
4. At C:\>CD Windows \Command
5. At C:\>Windows\Command\>SCANREG /RESTORE [ ENTER]
6.Restore a Good Regsitry Entry from the Blue Registry Checker window
7.choose a date to restore before problems occured

If the Win98 Boot disk method is used to do the Scanreg /Restore command, [Unlike Starup in MS DOS Mode or Command Prompt Only or Safe Mode Command Prompt from Windows 98 Starup reached on CTRL/F8 on Power On] typing Scanreg /Restore at C:\> and pressing [ENTER] might return "Bad Command" on the DOS Prompt.

Hav0k,

I am on Win98 and do not find a copy of ACLUI.dll on my hard drive nor can I find a copy to extract from the Win98 CD.

I am relatively certain that regedit.exe is a standalone executable.

So, if your copy is dependent upon another unrelated .dll then it is likely set this way due to the actions of a virus or trojan.

(Unless WinXP is different in this regard)

Try Trend Micro's Housecall page for a free online virus scan.
