Hi,

I am having a registry/configuration error during bootup of win 98. The following warning was generated:
Warning: windows has detected a registry/configuration error. Choose, commmand prompt only, and run SCANREG.
When I try to run scanreg /restore in the command prompt the following appears:
Program too big to fit in memory.
What should I do in order to run SCANREG so that I can restore the registry. Help is urgently needed.

Thanks in advance !!!

You need more DOs conventional memory. You could rename c:\autoexec.bat and c:\config.sys and then reboot to the command prompt. Other idea are here:
