Windows ME reinstall – no solution……

by answerman . Updated 22 years, 6 months ago

Hi All…..

Here is a good one. I have a box running Windows ME. I had been getting a couple DLL errors on boot, but reinstall of the “Dell Restore Disk” took those away.

Still two problems:

First, AFTER boot, I get a critical warning box(VBOkayOnly)that says “Registry Error” in the title bar.

The message says: “Cannot import sys.reg: Error opening the file. There may be a disk or file system error.”

I searched the registry for it, and it occurs once in:

HKEY/LOCAL MACHINE/ SOFTWARE/ MICROSOFT/ WINDOWS/ CURRENT VERSION/ RUN:

NAME: “sys” DATA: “Regedit /S sys.reg”

And I don’t know if these problems are related, but I only have two choices on the “right click/ properties/ settings” from desktop. In the “color” drop down, there is ONLY

“2 colors” and “16 colors”….

There are no errors in device manager. The video card looks to be in good shape. I have run scandisk, defrag, SFC, reseated all components, ran every fix tool for every virus out there…

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance for your help.
