I don't know what to do!! Thanks in advance!!

sue, You can download a boot disk from, BootDisk.Com Make sure you follow the instructions on how to make it. After it's downloaded. Or, if the computer you are using right now is 98 or ME. Make one with it. Then start your computer, with the disk you made, in the drive. When the start menu appears, choose with out cd-rom support. Then as the message says, do a scanreg /restore. To do this, type; scanregx/restore Press Enter You will be presented with a list of backup registries. Choose the latest one with the word (Started), next to it. When it says you have restored a good registry. Take the boot disk out, and press Enter. If you still have problems, repeat this but, go back to the next date. Hope this helped Good Luck
