What do you mean by "registry keeps crashing"? Have you scaned your system for a virus. That is what I suspect. If not that, I'd say your hdd is going bad. Give us some more details about errors or what not. One other thing....I wouldn't buy a compaq next time you get a computer.

JJ is correct...need more specific info. After that, you can use a program that runs in MS-DOS mode that will restore a Registry copy. Program is "Scanreg" with the following syntax: Scanreg/restore This will let you choose one of 5 (default) Registries that copies were made over the last five days. It will also tell you if any of those 5 were valid/used by the system. Get us some more info.
