I am facing a unique problem in office which is related to Registry error. Till now same error has occure in 3 systems. Fisrt it was P-III system. Got Message Resistry error Restore from babkup and then restart. I did the same by manualy taking backup of system.dat and user.dat,renamed original file and than restarted system.It work and till date has no problem.
In second system P-I same process does not work. so change the RAM&HDD.still it did not worked.Finaly changed the motherboard.Now system working fine.
In Third system P-III,looked all other possibility other than motherboard because motherboard is working fine with other HDD and RAM and have been tested for 15 days.

Hi,
I think that this problem is not related to a hardware problems.
I saw many times this problem but only where work non-experienced users. Generaly a wrong shutdown or deleting important files from system generate this problem.
A fresh installresolve this problem.

Registry errors are Windows software errors. I've seen this happen many times as well. Usually renaming user.dat and system.dat to backup files and user.da0 and system.da0 to the dat files will restore the backup and be fine for awhile.

This happens when the registry gets corrupt. That happens when computers are not properly shutdown, subject to power fluxuations, or just general use.

Another fix to this problem is to remove all protocols from Control Panel --> Network and rebootand reinstall the protocols. And the third way to reolve this is to remove the Network adapter; reboot; and reinstall.
