To Steve:

Last month I posted in here similar problem you're having  right now.  The
subject line was "Looping Registry Checker."  Like me, I strongly believe
you have a corrupted registry files and if you still have the capability, I
would strongly recommend right now to make backups of all your data files
(ex:  word files, dbase, spreadsheets, graphics, etc.) before it's too late.
You sound like your registry files are corrupted.

 I should say, the problem was very devastating  such that I end up
reformatting my harddrive.  I am hoping you have been making back ups of
your registry files.  If not, start copying or making back ups of your files
I mentioned above.  The only way you can restore your System Registry is
through your back up copies.  Otherwise, all the rest of the experts agreed
in my case... I was SOL!  I hate to admit it at the time but they were
right.  Another hard lesson learned for me.  I sincerely hope your problem
is not the same as mine.  And in your case, I hope I am wrong ...  Good
luck.

Subject: [PCBUILD] System Registry Error


> I am encountering an error message when booting up Windows 98 that reads,
"Windows Registry Checker, Windows Encountered an Error Accessing the System
Registry.  Windows will Restart and Repair the System Registry for You."
The system shuts down and restarts.  This has happened everyday for the past
4 days when booting up.  Do I need to reinstall the OS?  Thanks.
