I received this error :

Windows encountered an error accessing the system registry. Windows will restart and repair the system registry for you.

I restart but the problem is still there.

Deleting the win386.swp doesnt solve it.
Doing a scanreg /restore in dos also cannot work.

Anyone knows whats wrong?

Thanks a million

Your registry is corrupt. You will probably need to reinstall Windows. However, You can over right the Windows OS and restore the registry without formatting. Then all you would need to do is reinstall you executables.
Good Luck

Try replacing RAM. Sometimes a bad or loose RAM chip will cause problems with scanreg. You can also try booting into safe mode and disabling it in your Startup options. Did you also try scanreg /fix?
