After connecting my PC to an ethernet hub I get this error message with every boot-up. I'm prompted to restart so that windows can fix the error but it doesn't. I've tried regclean to no avail... Any ideas? My system: PIII 533EB Asus P3C2000 256 Meg SDRAM 2 IBM ATA66 hard disks 2-Com ethernet card

Thanks, it's a very interesting site! I'm going to have some fun here I believe. I fixed my prob by booting to DOS and running scanreg/fix and scanreg/opt.

E.L, don't be surprised if you feel a small sting in the back of your neck soon, it's completely natural. You may feel a bit drowsy, but that's OK also. *ok guys, move in*

I already underwent that treatment. I'm a patient here remember?

My registry has a somewhat similar problem.
Likely problem is that the BIOS supports only 8GB drives, and I have one 7 GB partition in a 20GB HD (the rest of the 13GB is unpartitioned space)
So all Win98SE come with scanreg? Mine doesn't, or I can't find it.

Tahna, Scanreg is a component of DOS I believe, so you should have it there somewhere. I'd imagine a search on your C: drive will find it or you could try typing scanreg.exe from the Start/Run command. To fix my prob I reboot to DOS from the Start/ShutDown command. I had dug up an old moldy DOS handbook from the early Eighties and found the "scanreg.fix" and "scanreg.opt" commands. After those two my error message has gone away. I also edited scanreg in wordpad to save 25 registries instead of just 5.
Did something just sting me?

If your BIOS doesn't take 20gb hard drives, then I suggest you update it, it is never a good idea to waste 13gb of drive just because of a BIOS
