Most Windows users know that their operating system begins to bog down and exhibit strange quirks after several months of use. Eventually, Windows won't shut down normally, or a notebook won't return from suspend mode. Power management may become erratic. A network card or sound card won't be recognized, or mysterious blue-screen error messages and general protection faults may occur with greater and greater frequency.
Some power users reinstall Windows a few times each year just to get their systems back into optimum shape. But reinstalling Windows 95/98 can take several hours out of an otherwise productive day. Since the Windows Registry causes many of the problems that crop up over time, a simpler, Registry -oriented repair strategy makes more sense when trying to resolve nagging problems.
Look for a hidden file in the root folder of your boot drive called System.1st, a file created during the Windows 95/98 installation that contains all of the default registry information for the first start-up of the operating system. RegEdit lets you extract all or part of the information from this "factory default" file and merge it into a corrupted registry, which often yields an effect akin to reinstalling Windows. And it takes a lot less time. So, before you give up and rerun Windows Setup, try the following procedure:
 | Make sure to make a backup of the current Registry
(or a recent version created during the last several days) that you can
use to restore you system if this trick doesn't work well. If you don't
have a backup, use ScanReg (for Windows 98 users), or, if you run Windows
95, use the Emergency Recovery Utility (labeled as ERU in the Other\Misc
folder on your Windows CD) to make Registry
backups.| Boot to a real-mode DOS command prompt by holding down Control
while powering up and selecting "Command Prompt Only." | From the DOS prompt, issue the following commands:
|
You just created a usable copy of your machine's original Registry
settings. Next, merge those settings into the current Windows Registry
that's causing problems. Enter: REGEDIT MY.REG. | |
The next time you boot into Windows 95 or 98, the system will behave as though you had just performed a refresh installation. It will rerun the Plug-and-Play hardware detection wizard and reinitialize the desktop. But Windows will also retain the cumulative program information on software and hardware that you've added since the original installation.
This trick takes 5 to 10 minutes to execute. On most Windows machines, it usually resolves shutdown problems, fixes power management problems, correctly reconfigures hardware peripherals and banishes general protection faults--preserving program information, the Internet history cache, and desktop settings. This trick won't solve problems caused by corrupt drivers or program files or an improperly installed application. If performance doesn't improve, you'll need to completely reinstall Windows.
