Can anyone out there help please? My sisters pc has crashed. She deleted some stuff and now she cant get her pc past scandisk. Just keeps putting her into a never ending cycle of boot, scandisk,boot ,scandisk. No safe mode available...I have win 98se and on her ME I cant get to a C prompt as she has no boot disk!! So I cant do anything from prompt. She is getting these errors xms cache problem enum/htree/root/0 sureg. create key failed. I need to run scanreg I think but how??? I went to make her a bootdisk tonight but can I do that on my win 98se pc? If anyone can point me in the right direction through this I'd be grateful. Apart from running scanreg I dont know what else to try and I havent even got a boot disk yet. I did get her to go into bios and set cdrom to be detected first and put her ME cd in but it detects it but then moves on to safe mode/scandisk..then blank screen...no offer but to keep restsarting. She really doesnt want to have to install windows all over again as she has so much stuff she wants to keep. Would she lose much if she reinstalled over the top? Prefer just to right the problem though if it is possible. Many thanks y'all. Goblin

at bootdisk.com you can create a boot disk for her, doesn't matter what OS you are running. download the ME version, execute the download & put in a floppy. reinstalling windows only replaces the OS, not anything else. she won't lose anything if you do that.

I just realised. As she doesnt have a prompt for me to type in the disk drive to reinstall windows she's going to need a boot disk anyway isnt she? There is no way in win ME to install from cd rom? If there is her problems must be so bad because the pc finds her cd rom drive first (as set in bios) but goes straight past it into scandisk and blank screen with no option but to reboot. ???? Thanx in advance. Goblin
