Charles,

  Sounds like you have some application that is corrupting your registry.
 I'd suggest using some type of registry tracker such as Norton's Registry
Tracker which is part of the Norton Utilities package.  It shows all
updates and I believe accesses to the registry as they happen.   That way
at least you might be able to see a pattern.  There may be similar
shareware utilities available, but I'm not aware of any.

Subject:        Continually Corrupting Registry

Greetings,

I'm going to delurk to ask for your help before I become bald (er).  I have
a PIONEX P200 with 32 m memory running Win95 (OSR2) and IE40.  My problem
is
the registry continually corrupts.  I will start the machine and get the
message that windows had problems accessing the registry, restart and allow
the registry to be restored.  I click restart and nothing happens, the
computer freezes.  If I click NO to restarting twice, the computer will
continue to boot, and I can work normally with the registry warning
continuing to pop up.  I've run RegClean 4.1, even reformatted and
reinstalled only essential programs.  After the reformat, the problem went
away for several weeks, and then occured again today.  I've run out of
ideas, and reinstalling seems fruitless if I can't determine what is
causing
it.

Thanks for your help,
Charles
