Whenever you want to install some app that you don't trust, run regedit, export (save) your registry and install the application. If something goes wrong, you can easily replace new registry with old one. Scanreg thing... It's hardly going to repare anything, build by M$, it is just going to destroy your system more I'm overreacting maybe, but probability for this scenatio to happen is high Good tools for fixing win registry, and for everything else is Norton Utilities packet, just make sure it's for w98. When w2K came out, I installed NU for win 95/98NT4 on it and after fixing stuff, during first reboot I got blue screen of death. So, make sure NU supports your w98.

Good Luck

Yeah, but if he don't know what he's doing, it is likely that he will delete something that's gotta be there, and then reinstall, again. But, that is how it is

B: exporting from regedit and importing won't delete keys that have been created. It'll only restore keys that had gone missing.

Are you saying that imporing previously exported *.reg would not bring it back to it's original state?
Then it appears that only way to do it to erase new keys is to go manually through regedit?

And about restore thing. I have only used it once when winMe came out. In that time I was working in printing company making designs and, if I remember correctly, winMe was bugging me to make restore point. So I did it. After a few days, something just goes wrong (nothing is weird with winMe), and I tried that "restore point" M$'s  miracle. After a while and a frenetic hdd work, everything pops up, in nice and working condition, except that I was missing around more than 60 designs and who knows what else. That is the last time I have used M$ stupidity called "restore point" s##t. It is good if you have nerves to make resdtore point every time before installation, tweaking, playing around, but is that the way how OS should work, making restore points every few hours?
