Windoz
« on: October 30, 2003, 03:57:44 AM »
I guess the latest poll brought this on...
I only use Amiga OS and Windoz...
Now take a guess whats my favorite...
Does anyone know how to fix the registery
for Windoz 98???
The only way I know it to wipe the drive clean
and re-install, which is a real pain in the butt.
(Windoz really sux)

Ok..
I recently had to do a re-install of win98.
The registry was messed up.

So after re-installing win98 I did a windows update.
that took about 2 hours on line.

My son had given me Norton System works.
So I installed and ran it.. BAD move.  
Explorer wouldn't run .. said I needed to re-install
windoz (dubble dam) so now I had to do a windoz
update again.
So I did and did an UN-install of Norton.

So I was going to do a CD Rom clone of my 'C'
drive. I was looking through the dir on 'C' to
see what I didn't need and found some Norton
stuff that didn't get un-installed and naturally
without thinking I deleted it.
Now I get an error on boot-up saying it is looking
for the Norton files I deleted.
How do I fix something like that ???

Well .. I tried the 'Scanreg' but no luck.

I did a google search on 'Symevnt.386' and
found that its a fairly common problem.
One guy had a solution 'Run his AntiVirus prg.'
It would fix the Norton problem ( I think NOT) :-x

I guess I'll just bite the bullet and wipe the drive
again. ( I'd really like to get a clean install and
clone it to CD Rom)
I guess this is the kind of stuff that makes
MicroSoft so endearing to everyone. :-(
