Bug
Reports and Fixes
Scanreg /Restore fails to restore registry
Symptom:
While trying to restore the registry using SCANREG
/RESTORE command at a C prompt in MSDOS mode, you receive an error
stating that the System Restore failed.
Issue:
A third party program such as Norton Unerase may
have the drive's disk access locked, causing the scanreg /restore
utility to fail.
Resolution:
1. Reboot Windows 98 and press F8 to bring up the
startup menu. 2. Select step-by-step start and load only HIMEM.SYS
(and DoubleSpace, if needed). 3. Run SCANREG /RESTORE.
